Quote:
The person without self-control is easy prey to the invader. He yields
himself to the first assault of his ungoverned passions, offering no
resistance... Having no discipline over himself, temptation becomes the
occasion of sin, and hurries him on to fearful lengths that he had not
contemplated. ~ Charles Bridges
Psalm 119:9-11
How can a young man keep his way pure?
By guarding it according to your word.
With my whole heart I seek you;
let me not wander from your commandments!
I have stored up your word in my heart,
that I might not sin against you.
Prayer:
Dear Father,
I look to You to provide me with the strength for proper self-control.
Help me to recognize temptation for what it is and edify me that I stand
strong. I am a new creation in Jesus Christ, behold the old has passed
away. Amen.
