Doing a bible study on self-control once again. When we react the way others act toward us, we have allow them to control us. Harsh, bitter words beget harsh, bitter words, actions are controlling reactions Proverbs 26:4 Amplified Bible (AMP) 12 Everything is permissible (allowable and lawful) for me; but not all things are helpful (good for me to do, expedient and profitable when considered with other things). Everything is lawful for me, but I will not become the slave of anything or be brought under its power. No person is master of himself if he allows the actions of others to dictate his own reactions. Scripture does not teach that we are to "control our self" by sheer will power-but rather, it teaches we are to "die to self" so the Holy Spirit-can control our "self life!"
