Today’s Word from God’s Word-Self-Control

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Word from God’s word is Self-Control.

This is a quality found in the Fruit of the Spirit. It is a quality that helps us to say “No” to influences that might corrupt our minds and hearts or distract us from staying focused on Jesus.

Our use of the media is one area where self-control is needed. It can be a useful resource to educate us or provide wholesome entertainment. But it can also consume an enormous amount of time and energy that takes us away from engaging in person-to-person relationships. There is also the risk of being exposed to harmful content in what we watch or hear.

Titus 2:11 goes to the source of self-control in the Christian life. “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “no” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.”

Discover how the word “Self-Control” can have an impact on your life in the Year of God’s Word.
