Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who takes a city.Proverbs 16:32
Life would be so less stressful if only anger and outbursts could be controlled. There would be hardly anyone in jail or prison. Some marriages would still be intact. Many friendships would not be broken. Some vehicular accidents may have been prevented too.
Anger is a demonic spirit that needs to be surrendered to the Holy Spirit. It can get to be a stronghold if you are not careful. The fruit of the spirit mentions ‘self control’ on its’ list. (See Galatians 5:23). If you struggle in this area give the controls to the ‘One’ who wants total control.
PRAYER: I am so thankful I recognize that anger or lack of self control is not from you Lord. I choose this day to be peaceful and and not allow things to make me lose control. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

ReplyDeletetold me something that I didn't know. Self-Control actually comes about when we are under "God Control."
