"Like a city whose walls are broken through
is a person who lacks self-control." - Proverbs 25:28
Not controlling your self is sometimes a good thing. But it isn't always! For example, temper. Losing your temper to often is something that the devil can use to try and pull you into his kingdom. Getting angry or not being wise can all be used against you if they are not your 'strong points'. God knows we do get weak and have weaknesses but Paul says in 2 Corinthians 12:9 that God helps us the MOST in our weaknesses. We are most helped when we are weak. We should have control of ourselves, our bodily functions is what I mean. Our spirit should be controlled by the Holy Spirit and this is what will give you self-control. Self control is one of the fruit of the Spirit (See Galatians 5:22 for a full list). Sometimes, when we lose control of ourselves it is by God. For example, you could be in a dangerous position. Your car has gone off the road and is heading for a deep pit. Everyone else has jumped out because they think it's hopeless. The steering wheel is twisting and turning itself. The Spirit of God comes upon you and you grab the steering and steer it away from the pit. That is the saving of the Holy Ghost. And you know, that story is real. A story that my dad told me. So be in control of yourself whilst the Holy Spirit guides you!
