Scripture Reading
“For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” (2 Timothy 1:7, NIV)
Self-Control Through the Spirit
Self-control is not achieved by human effort alone but through the power of the Holy Spirit. By surrendering our desires to God, we gain strength to resist sin and walk in holiness. It is a daily practice of yielding to God’s guidance.
Resisting Temptation
The Bible teaches that “no temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind” (1 Corinthians 10:13). With God’s help, we can overcome temptation and choose obedience. Self-control equips us to live victoriously as followers of Christ.
Living a Disciplined Life
Paul compared the Christian life to that of an athlete who disciplines their body to win the prize (1 Corinthians 9:25–27). Self-control enables us to stay focused on God’s will and avoid distractions that weaken our walk with Him.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, give me the strength to walk in self-control by the power of Your Spirit. Help me resist temptation and live in a way that honors You. Train my heart, mind, and actions to stay aligned with Your will. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
