Self Control

     So I began reading my Sabbath School Lesson for the week and it is about Self-Control. This is something that I am sure everyone has some type of struggle with self control. It is a very good lesson, I am just now on Tuesday's Lesson and I will finish the rest up tomorrow, but it really said something that I thought was quite powerful and I think I am going to need help with. We have to truly be grounded in God to really be able to overcome. If we are not grounded, we may find ourself in the middle of the battle between who we are standing for God or Satan. And when we don't have self control, we are giving into the ways of the world. Sometimes, we don't see how we reap from it, but we always do whether it takes time or its instant, we just cannot give up. I know I have horrible self-control with certain things in my life, but I need to try to begin the patterns of staying grounded in God, so that self-control will be something that will get easier as time goes on. We are human and not perfect, but that cannot be the excuse for not trying harder.
     Some verses to look at are the following: Genesis 39:7-20, 1 John 2:15,16. Check them out and I hope that you are blessed. I am anxious to finish up the rest of the weeks lessons.
