Self Control

Listen to the Podcast

Here is today's communion meditation.

Several years ago, we visited the Wright Brothers Museum in Kitty Hawk, NC. While we were there, I learned that one of the biggest problems the Wright Brothers had while trying to develop a working airplane was how to give the pilot control. 

God had a similar problem, in that he had to give us control of our lives. He gives us self-control with the ability to make choices. 

I find it interesting that in Acts 24:24-25 when Paul talks with the ruler Felix he talks about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come.  Why these 3 things? Self-control is one of the most important things he wanted to convey. 

In today's communion we are asking God to teach us about the self-control he's given us in Christ.  

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

One of the qualities to train is control, and the best way to do this is by slowing movements down. 

I am praying for you.
