1. Abraham had a pure heart in seeking the Lord. According to God’s word, he believed and set out for the promised land. Even without knowing where he was going, he set out by faith in God’s word. We must learn to believe the Lord’s word as He speaks to us, without adding or subtracting anything. This is the secret of our blessing (Gen. 12:1; Heb. 11:8).
2. Don’t be like Saul, who gave his opinion on what God said. Don’t use your logic or human reasoning to form an opinion on God’s word. God’s word doesn’t need human opinion, filter, or evaluation; it only needs your simple faith. Believe in God, follow the Lord, and do and obey His word (1 Sam. 15:1, 11, 22).
3. Abraham depended completely on the Lord. He was someone who called on the name of the Lord, asking Him for guidance and help. Therefore, we too must live a life of calling on the name of the Lord—that is, not trusting in our own abilities, but trusting in God, because He is the God who created heaven and Earth, is our Lord, and is our guide (Gen. 13:4; Ps. 116:2; Rom. 10:13).
4. “The dry land appeared on the third day and is linked to the resurrection of Christ, for He was resurrected on the third day and became the good land for us, on which we can live and walk. Christ is our good land, which we cultivate and on which we survive spiritually” (Gen. 1:9-13) (Daily Food, book 2, week 1, Wednesday, pg. 10).
