Self Control

Self control is so important in our day to day lives. It can be exercised in several areas of our lives such as talking and listening, eating and drinking, and controlling anger. The Bible says one of the fruits of the Spirit is self control.

Self control on talking and listening

Often we like to talk more than we actively listen (real listening). Please refer to my post on listening

Self control on eating

On eating, the bible warns us of gluttony. Proverbs:23:19-21 “Listen, my son, and be wise, and set your heart on the right path: 20 Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, 21 for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags.”
