Week Two: Pause Before You React

Self-control isn’t weakness — it’s power under control.

1. Don’t Let Emotions Lead You

-1 Samuel 24:4–7: David refused to act out of anger or revenge.

-Application: Slow down in conflict, offense, or pressure moments. Think before you post or respond.

2. Honor Even When It’s Hard

-David honored Saul as king even when Saul didn’t deserve it.

-Application: Choose respect over reaction, especially with authority, family, or friends.

3. Let God Fight for You

-Romans 12:19 — “Vengeance is mine, says the Lord.”

-Application: Trust God with justice and outcomes — walk in peace.
