I agree with your comments. Our Religious attempts
at self control. I think you hit it on the head. The word religion means " back to bondage " or to
" re-bind " Paul talks about it much concerning the " law " and when it says to cast out the bond-
woman, I think it could be saying; get rid of trying to keep the law to be lead, but be lead by
the Spirit. The law might say, " Don't commit adultery," but only the Spirit can say, " Buy her
some roses and some chocolates for valentines day. "

Apparently we are to cast our our human attempts to bring about God's promises, because our well-meant worldly religious endeavors will not bring about God's life in us like Jesus does. We cannot be an overcomer on our own and God usually does not automatically change us, but only we can apply to our lives that which only Jesus could have made available for us. He that has the Son has life (otherwise/otherwise) (1 Jn. 5:12).

As God did not himself cast out Hagar and her son but told Abraham to cast them out, I feel he is telling us to cast out our well meant religious attempts at self control. It has been said that the final effort of the flesh is to try to save itself. In order to enter God's rest, we need to cease from our own labors (Heb. 4:10). As we surrender, invite Jesus to be Lord in every area of our life and declare our safe position in him, we will find rest for our souls as he promised in Matt.11:29. May our Lord direct.
