Quiet Time Takeaway:
It is a trusting faith that leads to self-control.
My NOTES:
”(Abraham) bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.”
Genesis 22:9
“I often miss that Isaac was probably 18-20 years old when he laid down on pile of wood. He had a tremendous respect for his father, and self-control as he let himself be bound!”
G. Laurie paraphrased
“Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith…. encourage the younger men to be self-controlled.”
Titus 2:2 & 6 cut up
“Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself…”
Daniel 1:8 NKJV
(He prayed in advance to be self-controlled)
My TAKEAWAY:
It is a trusting faith that leads to self-control.
