Greater Than The Great Conquerors
There are stories of great military campaigns throughout history: King David taking Jerusalem, Alexander the Great conquering the walled cities of the ancient world, General Sherman taking Atlanta, and turning the course of the Civil War to name a few. The taking of such cities required courage, zeal, and often brilliance. However, Proverbs says that “greater is the one who rules his own spirit than the one who captures a city.” Think about that. God’s saying it is more important to rule your spirit. Look at all the military conquerors of history, and all they did; all the challenges and obstacles they had to go through. Yet, many of them couldn’t even control their own lusts and it destroyed them. Set your heart, and your goal on ruling your own spirit. Storm that wall, conquer that stronghold, and win that victory. Then your life will be far greater, stronger, and more life-changing than all the generals of history. For greater than the one who takes the city, is the one who rules their spirit.

Today, make it your goal to rule your spirit by the power of God’s Spirit.
