SELF CONTROL

Prov 25:28
28 A person without self-control is as defenseless as a city with broken-down walls. NLT
** Oh how true this is. If we don’t practice self control we will never be protected. Often times I will find things in my life and will fast them because I want to keep myself under control. I definitely have a problem with self control. I love to eat and I find my self over and over again in the situation of eating all the time! I do feel like Paul who says “the things I want to do I don’t do and the things I don’t want to do, I end up doing…. What a wretched man that I am….” So I beat my body and I continually try to make it my slave so it will obey me and the word of God and not just do whatever it wants to. And yes because I find myself without self control, I also find myself in trouble because the enemy can come in and attack because there is no wall of protection in my life…. Lord help me keep my flesh in check and help me make the right decisions that will keep the walls of protection up and fortified.
