🧠 SELF-CONTROL: THE LOST DISCIPLINE 🧠
Let’s talk about something we rarely confront anymore — self-control.
In today’s world, we live in a state of constant indulgence. Food is everywhere. And we’re conditioned to believe that feeling even slightly hungry is some kind of emergency.
Ever hear someone say they’re “hangry”? That’s not normal — that’s a lack of self-control. It’s a modern symptom of a deeper spiritual and physical disconnection.
But here’s the truth:
Our ancestors didn’t eat 3 meals a day, let alone 4 or 5. They didn’t snack every two hours. Sometimes they ate once a day. Sometimes they didn’t eat at all. And guess what? They survived. Thrived, even.
Today, we eat out of habit, not hunger. Out of emotion, not need. And the result? We’ve become slaves to our cravings, calling it “normal.”
📖 Galatians 5:22-23 says:“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control…”
Self-control is not optional. It’s a mark of spiritual maturity.
So here’s a challenge:
✅ Pay attention to how you act when you're hungry.
✅ Reflect on how often you think you need to eat.
✅ Ask yourself: “Is this physical hunger, or just a habit or craving?”
And if you find yourself unable to stop eating something you know is harmful to your body, your energy, or your mind — pause.
Is that normal? Or is that bondage?
Real freedom isn’t doing whatever you want whenever you want.
Real freedom is choosing not to — and being at peace with it.
Let’s grow in self-control. In mind, body, and spirit.Let’s stop letting food (or anything else) control us.
What are your thoughts on this? Have you noticed this in your own life?
