Self-Control
I've been camped in the book of the book of Titus for the last week or so. Do you know that in chapter 2 there is a description of older men and women and also younger men and women? On those four lists there's only one quality that we all should be striving towards: self-control. (Actually it's the ONLY thing young men should be working on!!)
God is pointing out areas in my life I need to be, think, act, and live out a self-controlled life.As I've been studying this, I am listening to a past Revive our Heart programs on Titus and really appreciated the day when the topic of what a self-controlled woman looks like, versed a woman who is not self-controlled.I've have a long way to go to be a self-controlled woman!Here's the link to that day's program on: Sound Thinking

Self control is SO hard. The flesh is strong and its will is instilled deep in us. The "baby" we were still cries out, "Wahhh! I want my _____, now!!!"
Paul was so kind to share with us how the flesh wages war with the spirit. Oh, thank You, Adoni, for your grace and mercy, and Jeshua for becoming one of us to understand how difficult it is to endure and overcome!
Be strong, sister, and remember Jeshua's words, "Blessed is he who overcomes." and be comforted, as I am by this reminder. His yoke is so easy, His burden so light.
