"He who has no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down and without walls."
Prov 25:28
Even though city walls restricted the inhabitants' movements, people were happy to have them. Without walls, they would have been vulnerable to attack by any passing group of marauders. Self-control limits us, to be sure, but it is necessary. An out-of-control life is open to all sorts of enemy attack. Think of self-control as a wall for defense and protection.- Life Application Bible Footnote
Today, and one day at a time, may we be transformed to bear the fruit of temperance in a culture that knows no self-control.
