Proverbs 25:28 (NIV)
Like a city whose walls are broken through
is a person who lacks self-control.
If I’m not in control, who is? Who has broken through the boundaries of my life, making decisions for me?
1 Peter 5:8
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
Beware the enemy!
Good morning, Lord. I so often forget there’s an enemy watching for gaps in my self-control, eager to step in and take charge. Open my eyes to his devious ways, protect me from his destructive schemes. I don’t want him to snatch control out of my hands. I want to willingly hand off control to You. Make it so, in Jesus’ name.
