Control Freak

Self-control is more than knowing the right choice, it’s having the strength to make it. As a part of the Fruit of the Spirit, self-control is the result of discernment and discipline that only comes from remaining in Jesus. The more we know and trust Jesus, the easier it is to place our lives under his authority and choose the things that please and glorify him. Our flesh will always choose to fill immediate desires and sacrifice what we ultimately desire. Self-control requires that we surrender everything, seek wisdom, and set boundaries to keep us walking in step with the Spirit.
