Self-Control
A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls. -Proverbs 25:28 (NLT)
Self control protects you just like a tall stone wall encircling an ancient city. It can protect you from saying the wrong thing. It can prevent you from doing something you'll regret later. Like all godly virtues, it can protect and provide for you.
Knowing God leads to self-control. Self-control leads to patient endurance, and patient endurance leads to godliness. (2 Peter 1:6)
Self-control is the ability to:
-say no to things that are harmful to you.
-put off things that you want to do but can't - or shouldn't -do right now.
-discipline yourself to do the things God tells you to do.
"Don't engage mouth before you engage brain." Think - better yet - pray before you speak.
