SELF-CONTROL: Fruits of the Holy Spirit | Two Hours of Worship Piano

SELF-CONTROL: Fruits of the Holy Spirit | Two Hours of Instrumental Piano. Instrumental Worship Music for prayer, work, sleep, study, and relaxation. All music composed and recorded by Dan Musselman. https://www.danmusselman.com

Here are some thoughts I had while creating this music:

What comes to mind when I hear "self-control?"
Do I consider myself to be a person with self-control?

I sometimes think about self-control as the personal application of wisdom. It is one thing to know how to act, what to say, or what to think. It is another big step in the journey of a Christ-follower to consistently apply that knowledge into personal self-control.

If the Holy Spirit were to develop in me greater self-control today, what impact would that have on my life and especially on those around me? Would I be a better representation of Jesus?

This is something all Christ-followers wrestle with and can grow in. Consider what Paul wrote in Romans 7:15: "I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate."

I'm praying that God develops in me a humble spirit of self-discipline. Not for self-righteousness or to build up pride, but rather to be a more effective disciple of Jesus.

This is the ninth of nine videos in the series I've put together on the Fruits of the Spirit. As you draw closer to God, as you mature in your faith, and as you hear the call of Jesus, these nine attributes will grow in your life: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-Control. Galatians 5:22. If you are growing in these areas, then you're drawing near to God, my friend!

📖 Galatians 5:22-23 - But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!

📖 1 Corinthians 9:24-25
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.

📖 2 Timothy 1:7
For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

📖 Proverbs 25:28
A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls.

📖 Proverbs 16:32
Better to be patient than powerful;
better to have self-control than to conquer a city.

📖 1 Timothy 3:2-3
That’s why officials must have a good reputation and be faithful in marriage. They must be self-controlled, sensible, well-behaved, friendly to strangers, and able to teach. They must not be heavy drinkers or troublemakers. Instead, they must be kind and gentle and not love money.

📖 Titus 2:11-12
For God has revealed his grace for the salvation of all people. That grace instructs us to give up ungodly living and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this world,

📖 2 Peter 1:5-7
So devote yourselves to lavishly supplementing your faith with goodness,
and to goodness add understanding,
and to understanding add the strength of self-control,
and to self-control add patient endurance,
and to patient endurance add godliness,
and to godliness add mercy toward your brothers and sisters,
and to mercy toward others add unending love.
Thank you again for listening. I love making this music for you, and I sincerely hope that this makes your day better and brings you closer to God. Let's encourage one another and make the world a better place today. Much love. ✌️
