Training to win calls Christians to grow in: Godly and teaching. 2) Internal leading to outward transformation. 3) in hearts surrendered to God. Applying God’s Word to Life Who do hope wins today? Why? What does it take to win in the game that really matters? Which of the key elements of 1 Tim. 4:8-16 are strong or weak for you personally right now? What are some tangible steps you could take to train to win in view of your current strengths and weaknesses? How effective have you been in your attempts to grow through “behavior modification” where you tried to do better in an area of weakness? Why is it hopeful to start with internal, underlying healing for the greater purpose of growing in your outward actions and words? What are some of the lies you’ve told yourself that kept you from experiencing God’s good plan for you and your healing? How does honesty with ourselves and with God play a role in our transformation? What area are you most fearful of surrendering to God right now? Take time now to ask God to still your fears so that you can courageously invite Him to have his way with your heart and life? Who is likely to be the most blessed if God gets your whole heart?
