August 6, 2017 Devotional: Self-Discipline How does self-discipline help me to grow? God's Response: King Solomon became richer and wiser than any other king in all the earth. . .

Thus, Solomon did was evil in the Lord's sight ;  he refused to follow the Lord completely, as his father, David had done. - 1 Kings 10:23, 11 : 1-2, 4-6, NLT God's Promise : God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. - 2 Timothy 1 :7, NLT Reflection (made by the blogger herself): When we accept God in our lives, we are given the gift of salvatio

Remember God made each of us and we are unique & we have gifts and talents God gave us with to use (Refer to Ephesians 4 :24 ) . We can't compare to Jesus because He is the standard and He is also perfect. When we accept Jesus as our Lord
