THE SPIRIT OF SELF-CONTROL

Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:7 "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind."

Meditation: Self-control is Spirit-control. When you yield to the Holy Spirit, discipline becomes a delight rather than a burden. He strengthens you to govern your thoughts, emotions, appetites, and actions with wisdom. You don't have to be controlled by every impulse; through the Spirit, you can live with clarity, discipline, and purpose.

Reflection:

• Let the Spirit master your appetites and thoughts.

What area of your thoughts, emotions, or habits do you need to surrender more fully to the Holy Spirit today?

Confession:

• The Spirit of discipline lives in me.
• I am temperate and wise in all things.
