A City with Strong Walls
Are you like a city with strong walls, or are your walls broken down? In the book of Proverbs, Solomon compares a person who lacks self-control with a broken down city.
Proverbs 25:27,28
"It is not good to eat too much honey,
nor is it honorable to seek one's own honor.
Like a city whose walls are broken down
is a man who lacks self-control."
I feel like a broken down city when I lose my self control, either by eating too much honey (sugary sweets) or losing my temper, or even taking on too much work. I am so happy that God is always there for us and that He is able to build us back up when we become like a city with broken down walls.
