"A man without self control
is like a city broken into and left without walls"
Proverbs 25:28 ESV
Pretty busy today but this verse jumped out at me this morning. A city without walls is without defense and when attacked it will fall. With a crafty enemy inside ourselves (our flesh) and such a dangerous enemy outside (the devil) I'd say we need many strong walls. Let us exercise self control in everything so that when temptation comes we will not fall.
1 Peter 5:8-11 NIV 8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 11 To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
