He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city.PROVERBS 16:32 NASB
Wow. This flies in the face of what the world has to say. We just aren't encouraged to do this today. I love the echoes of this thought in the father character in Little Women who encourages his children to "conquer themselves"(The book version, not the movie) . I wish more of our stories held the bar up and showed us how to rule our spirit instead of following our own desires.
