We have all heard the expression he has a lot of self-control.
It usually boils down to an insult or physical assault that the
person has resisted response to. What about the phrase having a good bead
and things or getting your ducks in a row these are all phrases that meant
something to people to demonstrate I'm not look on life or how to live.
What is
self-control?
You might say self-control is the ability to resist or to think
about a problem to have the right answer the first time. That sounds right but
it is also training yourself to come to the conclusion that one thing is right
and everything else is wrong to set that in your mind and to keep that for us like
a sounding board.
What is the Christian sounding board or what is the
Christians control?
The word of God. Self-control is not adjusting your temper
or outbursts of emotion those would be controlling yourself adjusting your
physical demeanor to suit more culturally approved practices. Self-control is
what you really think who you really are between you and the fence post you can
control what comes out of your mouth or what you hear or see you may choose to
respond or not respond but that is controlling yourself what you were thinking
at the time is self-control. Setting your minds. Realizing one thing is right
and everything else is wrong to test everything against that one thing and that
is the word of God. True self-control comes when wrong happens your response is
in accordance to God's word and Christ's heart. That is how you become
perfectly self-controlled. 1Peter 1:13-14
