Notes:

“One who lacks self-control is despised; one who learns to curb desire is respected.”  Proverbs 13:18

If you really want respect learn to curb your desires.  If you try to play a video game without a controller you soon find you can’t.  If you try to play the game of life without self-control you soon find you can’t.

The best recipe is the following.

1. Know yourself.  And you won’t really know yourself until you’ve been tested.

2. Know your boundaries.  You’re boundaries are set by the will of God and his law.

3. Put the controls in his hands.
