Self-control is one of the important things that every man needs to be victorious in life and to please God. Here are five key points of our character to master:
1. Worries
Worry takes away the desire to do what we have to do and takes away our joy.
« Do not worry about anything; but in everything make your needs known to God through prayers… »(Philippians 4:6)
2. The fear
Fear does not come from God! It comes from the enemy but God gave us a spirit of strength to dominate it.
« For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. »(2 Timothy 1:7)
3. Anger
If we are not careful, anger leads us to be violent and not to do the will of God.
« In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. »(Ephesians 4:26-27)
4. The seductions
Various seductions aim to lead us into sin. The word of God urges us to overcome them.
« My son, if sinners entice you, do not give in to them. »(Proverbs 1:10)
5. Resentments
It’s about all the grudges that we have stored up in our hearts. Let’s know that it is poison for our life.
« …if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins. »(Mark 11:25)
If we manage to master our worries and our fears, to resist all seductions and to overcome our resentments, we can easily do the will of God and please Him.
May God help us to master ourselves.
