The Fruit of the Spirit: Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit
Not long ago a soft drink manufacturer got a lot of mileage out of the slogan, “Obey your thirst.” In other words, there is no point in resisting your appetites and desires. Go for it! The problem is that human beings have a lot of appetites--for food, power, excitement, sex, domination, money, and on and on. The Bible tells us that if we obey our appetites, we will become slaves of our appetites.
That’s why it’s so exciting to hear from the Bible that one of the fruits of the Spirit is self-control: “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control” (Galatians 5:22,23).
In other words, God actually helps us to control our thirst and all our other appetites as well. Let the Spirit lead you today!The Fruit of the Spirit: Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit
