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 seems to think it’s about giving in to the flesh and making sure we keep ourselves happy.
Self-control is tough, but it honors God. The Bible offers many examples of people denying the flesh, and Daniel is a great example.
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 received incredible blessings, such as wisdom and understanding, to name just a few. So, denying self is possible.
