Self leadership for Christians makes the difference between fruitfulness or barrenness in our every day lives. Discipline is not never eating ice cream but being able to eat it twice a month and let that be it. We become the leader and not the servant. This is more true today with the use of technology than in any other area. This Carey Nieuwhof post is excellent:
“How do you feel about your phone? That’s an increasingly interesting question. Ask me that five years ago and I would have told you I love mine. My guess is that by now you might have a love/hate relationship with it.
You love what it gives you, but you’re not sure what it’s doing to you, and the emotions you experience while you scroll, tap and swipe are more mixed than in the past. Take your phone and devices away from you, though, or forget them, and you immediately panic. A near-dread ensues.”
