The Daniel 14-Day Plan

DAY 13 OF 14

The Freedom of Self–Control

We want to say no to unhealthy habits, but sometimes it’s difficult, isn’t it? Some habits can seem so deeply rooted that we aren’t able to make good choices to break the unhealthy pattern.

What can we do? The Bible urges us to pray for the grace of God, which enables us to say no to unhealthy impulses and yes to self-controlled, upright, and godly habits. It turns out that self-control is true freedom, the freedom to choose what we know is good for us. We gain more self-control as we pray for grace and then act on grace. The more often we act on grace, the weaker the grip our old habits have on our lives. More and more, we’ll be able to choose self-controlled practices.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Self-control is true freedom, and God’s grace makes it available to us so we become fully free to make choices that will help us flourish.
