“The Discipline of Surrender” (Conclusion) Philippians 4:10-19
Most human beings feel a need to exert as much control over their life as possible. That’s putting it in a positive way. We could also say most human beings just have to get their way or they become very disagreeable. The Bible, however, says that to follow God we must surrender control of our life to him. Making the decision to give God control each day is what we refer to as the discipline of surrender. This is the issue Paul focuses on in the closing of his letter to the Philippians. What does this text teach us about surrender?
I First, surrender is for everyone (4:11).
II Second, we can’t practice the discipline of surrender until we are willing to accept our need for surrender (4:10).
III Third, making the decision to live a surrendered life is easier when we see how liberating surrender can be (4:11-12).
IV Surrender is something we can never accomplish ____ ______ _______ (4:13).
V While surrender is hard, when we surrender God uses the Body of Christ to e___________ us and b__________ us (4:14-17).
VI In addition to the help and support we receive from the Body of Christ, surrender puts us on the receiving end of G_______ u___________ s____________ (4:18-19).
