Self control is the ability to control ones emotions, behaviors and desires in the face of external demands in order to function. You must have self awareness to have self control. Your life is made of all the little moments that add up to build your unique experience.
The day you cleaned everything.
The day you decided not to.
The day you kept your peace.
The day you lost it.
1 Peter 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
This verse shows us that we must have self control in order to pray.
1 Peter 3:10For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.12 For
the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto
their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
As we press into the Father and seek his face and His ways that is when the Holy Spirit will bring us Self Control. It is our job to ask for and then grow the gifts that come with the Holy Spirit. In order to be the very best that we can we must seek these gifts from the father and tend to each one and make them alive and well in our every day lives. Showing ourselves strong in our walk toward the Kingdom.
