Proverbs 25:28 says "A man with no self-control is like a city broken into and without walls." If the city has no walls, what do you think that communicates to neighboring enemies who see it? Of course, they see it as an opportunity to attack, they see a weakness. The same goes for us. The enemy is prowling like a lion looking for someone to devour. If he sees our walls of self-control are down in one area, he will bring calamity to many more areas of our lives. If we can practice self-control across all areas of our lives, we will find more success than we imagine in our battle against the flesh.
