You can easily become distracted, wasting time and
energy in pursuit of the wrong goals. Without self-control,
we can “slip back”into bad habits and “old ways.”
Many people, then and now, find it hard to exercise
self-control. For example,according to a recent study,
44% of Americans say they do not have time to be
organized.These people waste time searching for their
keys and other common household items. The irony is
that “those who are the most organized spend considerably
less time looking for lost belongings.” These people have
self-control.
Without self-control, circumstances can dominate our
schedules. Our priorities can become confused, and we
can become distracted. We can fail to accomplish God’s
purposes and miss out on His blessings.
