Imagine Self-Control


This little diet kit came into the ReGeneration Store the other day. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I opened the box! When I saw the spoon with the hole, along with the half fork and knife, I laughed out loud.

I suppose that’s one way of losing weight. Do you think it would work?

It makes me think about the real issue: self-control. Disciplined self-control will not work unless there is a long term, "later on" view.

Hebrews 12:11 speaks to that. "No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it."

What do you need to imagine to exercise self-control this weekend?
