Do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.Romans 6:12Self-control is one of the great keys to success in life. And since Gods Word has a lot to say about it, if you ask Him He will help you to cultivate it. What you struggled with when you were young will be different from the things you struggle with when youre older, but youll face temptation in one form or another as long as you live. Self-control is one of the nine fruits of the Spirit listed in the Bible (see Galatians 5:22-23). It calls for bringing every aspect of your life under the mastery of the Holy Spirit. Its a lifestyle characterised by discipline, not impulse.
