PHOTO: Our 'Circuit Breaker' tripped due to the sudden surge of Coronavirus (Covid-19) infection in our country. As the government enforced more restrictions, it is not surprising that no more outdoor intimacy is allowed until further notice. Safe distancing measure is a 'necessary discomfort'. With the increasing high rate of infection, it will be a long while before our lifestyles return to normalcy. Therefore we need to exercise our self control, especially during this difficult time, more than ever.

The Bible warns us that if we do not have self control, we will be slaves to what controls us.
PHOTO: The Bible warns us that if we do not have self control, we will be slaves to what controls us. Food, lust, money, our words, virus . . . we can find ourselves overwhelmed with the consequences of not having self control in many areas of life. Being self controlled is the very foundation for living a life of righteousness and selflessness that reflects Jesus and brings glory to God. We have the power to bring sins under control! [2]

"So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober." (1 Thessalonians 5:6).
