The Greek word for self-control comes from a root word meaning to grip. It calls for getting a grip on your spending so that you dont go into debt for things you dont need and cant pay for. It calls for getting a grip on your temper and not saying things youll later regret: Better a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city (Proverbs 16:32 NIV 1984 Edition). It calls for getting a grip on your desires. If Joseph had failed to say no to the repeated advances of his boss wife, hed never have seen his lifes dream fulfilled and sat on the throne of Egypt. Understand this: Satan has discerned your destiny and hes out to stop you from reaching it. So pray for self-control, and practise it on a daily basis.
