August 9

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Wisdom and self-control are not natural traits. They have to
be developed by and in a person. Wisdom is given by God
and self-control is the last attribute listed in the fruits of the
Spirit. It is through life experiences that we gain wisdom and
it is through intense trials that we gain self-control. However,
experiences and trials do not necessarily mean people become
wise and self-controlled (Daily Disciples Devotional).

SCRIPTURE:
Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control.
Proverbs 25:28

I've heard it said that wisdom is gained through the "school of hard knocks,"
but that is not always true. Walking with God each day will gain us wisdom
and self-control!

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda
