Title: Responding with Self-Control: David’s Restraint Toward Saul
Anchor Text: 1 Samuel 26:9
Contemporary Quote:
*"You can’t control someone else’s behavior, but you can control how you respond to it." — Roy T. Bennett
David’s self-control set a precedent for all leaders. He didn’t confuse opportunity with divine permission. He understood that timing, motive, and method matter to God.
In leadership today, self-control is required in boardrooms, pulpits, group chats, and personal conversations. When you are falsely accused or undermined, self-control means choosing silence over slander, wisdom over reaction.
This week, ask yourself:
- Where am I most tempted to lose control—in speech, emotion, or behavior?
- Who or what pushes my buttons as a leader?
- How can I rely on the Holy Spirit to strengthen my self-control?
