5. 1 Corinthians 10: 13 (ESV) No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation, he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
Do you ever feel like you are in short supply of self-control? No matter how deficient you feel, the Word of God tells us that you have enough!
When you feel like you just can’t stand up against the temptation any longer, keep your eyes open for a way of escape– He has promised it is there (although you will still need to exercise endurance in accepting that escape)!
6. 1 Peter 5:8 (ESV) Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
Being of a sober mind, walking in self-control, allows us to stay mindful of the schemes of the enemy around us. We have a real adversary who is betting on you to fail.
See your food temptations for what they are– a ploy by Satan to make you ineffective for Christ.7. 1 Corinthians 9:25 (ESV) Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable one.
The thought of exercising self-control in ALL things can be overwhelming. However, if enough is at stake, we all would step up our game without a second thought.
An athlete has an end result in mind. Their focus on winning the prize and the joy it brings far outweighs any temptation in their lives for compromise.
We need to SEE the end result of walking in self-control with food. How amazing will it feel to know that you have been obedient?
