Self-Control vs. God-Control
The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace…
Romans 8:6
How does someone stop overeating? The world calls it “self-control,” but that is not a good name for this phenomenon. When you only have “self” in mind, you do not control your self…you indulge in selfish desires! Only an abandoned person who has given “self” over completely to God can put their selfish desires aside and live for Him. We must live for THE ONE. You cannot run your life! Your rule only leaves you drunken and gluttonous and broke. But God’s rule leaves you blessed and healthy and with money in the account. BE STILL and look for His Spirit — it is “GOD CONTROL.” The evidence that God is in control is that you stop overeating, you obey your authorities, your finances are in order, and your prayers for God and His Kingdom get answered! You will be joyful and have no worries, for you rely on God in all things. You are a child of God, following His directions for mealtime, playtime, study time, work time, and bed time. Seek out God-control today and feel the difference!
