/WILL

What we act on we strengthen.
If we are angry and we act on it we strengthen anger.
If we are proud and act on it we strengthen presumption and arrongance.
If we are tempted to sin and we act on it, we strengthen our weakness to resist temptation.
If we are anxious and we allow it to drive us to action, we strengthen worry.
However, if we resist temptation we strengthen our will.
Our will is like a muscle.
Every time we make a decision it is like lifting a weight.
We strengthen the muscle of our will.
When we control our temper we strengthen self-control.
When we refuse anxiety and rather trust God speaking out His promises, we strengthen faith instead of doubt.
