Control yourself with self control | 2Peter 1:6

Even what seems to be some of the smallest things in our life are many times some of the most difficult. Such as: our appetite, exercising to the point of injuries, and our tongue. The Bible warns us that if we do not have self control, we will be slaves to what controls us. Impulse control is never easy. All of us struggle with overcoming sinful impulses. We are not to feed our minds with that which will promote sinful thoughts. We are to pursue hard after God, replacing sinful thoughts with godly pursuits and mindsets. Christ demonstrates, illustrates, and He helps us concentrate on Him.
