S - Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women…” Titus 2:3
O - train = sophron = sound thinking
A - Ooh, I did not like today. It stepped on my toes! There are MANY more qualities in the non-sophron category I relate to than are in the sophron category. Yuck!
P - Heavenly Father, thank You for these words from Nancy. I pray that I will begin to show more sound thinking and leave the ways of non-sophron behind.
I've had a rough week with eating, definitely out of control with no sophron!
ReplyDeleteI need some major prayer. I'm so tired of this being an issue in my life. I'm tired of running to food instead of running to Christ.
Oh Karlyn, as I am sitting here typing this I can feel my thighs spreading out! It's horrible! Why do I do this to myself? Why can't I just nip it in the bud?!?! Satan. I know Satan. He entices me with instant gratification of sweets and high-fat foods, and I give in. RESIST AND HE WILL FLEE! Oh Lord, I pray for strength for Karlyn and myself that we would draw upon Your strength to say no to temptation. You are the God that allowed David to conquer Goliath and I know You will help us conquer our food giant. We ask for strength to resist and make wise choices that honor You. A-men!
