Title: Self Control
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. – Prov 3:5
Whatever makes us happy, right? Not so fast. Tempting situations seem to hit us every day. The world today thinks it’s about giving in to the flesh and making sure we are keeping ourselves happy.
Self-control is tough, but it honors God. The Bible has many examples of people denying the flesh, one of which is Daniel.
Daniel 1:5—17 shows that Daniel denied himself and kept his body clean by sticking to vegetables and water even though he had access to all of the meat and other foods that he wanted. By not defiling his body, he honored God, and he received some incredible blessings, like wisdom and understanding, to name just a few. So, denying self is possible.
Real Men Trust God all the time
