Proverbs 25:27-28

It is not good to eat much honey,
nor is it glorious to seek one’s own glory.
A man without self-control
is like a city broken into and left without walls.

Respond

The ninth fruit of the Spirit is self-control.  How can self-control begin to grow in your life so that you let the Holy Spirit change you into a person who is strong in word and deed?
