My thought for today is self-restraint. The dictionary defines self-restraint as the disciplined ability to govern your impulses, desires, and emotions so that your actions align with your values rather than with your urges. Controlling our impulses so that they do not control us. In plain language, self-restraint is the muscle that keeps me from doing things I will later regret. In Proverbs 25:28, a person without self-restraint is compared to a city with broken walls - vulnerable and easily invaded. As with most things, the practice of self-restraint takes practice, and now is as good a time as any to begin the practice of self-restraint.
