The primary role of air traffic control is to maintain separation, whether it be on the ground at an airport or in the air. It's about spacing, whether it be lateral, vertical or path of flight. It's about providing weather and navigation aid. The role is about providing instruction (commands) and advise. Air traffic control is about the flow of traffic, what arrives and departs. It's about planning, systems, and a common language.
When air traffic control fails...disaster.
Self-control has the same characteristics. Separation from things of the world. Remaining on the narrow path. Listening to the advice of God's Word, His commands, and clear advice for living. It's about flow in and out of our bodies, whether it be food, thought, what we see, what we hear, and what we do. And it's about having a support system and plan in place, all with a common language and understanding. All of this is to be centered on the Word of God.
Self-control. Something that should be the aim of every true believer.
