THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

GOD HAS GIVEN US SELF CONTROL, USE IT TO TAKE CONTROL OVER YOUR EMOTIONS……

When you let your FEELINGS control you–anger, impatience, lust, a negative attitude–your walls of defense are DOWN. The enemy can come in and run your LIFE. God has given us SELF-CONTROL. Quit saying, “I CAN’T stop it. It’s too HARD.” You HAE the ability, but self-control is like a MUSCLE. If you never DISCIPLINE yourself to walk away when you feel like taking the EASY way out, then your self-control MUSCLE is very WEAK. You have to start EXERCISING it by saying NO to your flesh. You have a DESTINY to fulfill. But as long as you are controlled by these ordinary IMPULSES, God can’t release the AMAZING things He has in store for your FUTURE. SPIRITUAL maturity has NOTHING to do with how many years you’ve been in church or how long you’ve known the Lord. It has EVERYTHING to do with what kind of FRUIT you are displaying. Are YOU ruling over YOUR emotions?

Today’s Scripture

Proverbs 25:28, NKJV

Whoever has no rule over his own spirit is like a city broken down, without walls.
