1. Man should not live by his carnal skill, but by the word of God and faith in it. God can very well accomplish His will; He is able to do even the impossible—to raise the dead and bring into existence what does not exist. He does not need man’s carnal skill (Genesis 17:1; Romans 4:17).
2. Everything that originates from man results in problems. We must allow God to take the initiative: the origin must be Himself. And how does something proceed from God? Through His word. Therefore, we need to wait for the word of the Lord and believe in it. This is of utmost importance: the origin is the Lord (John 17:7-8; 2 Corinthians 3:4-5).
3. God said to Abraham: “Walk before me […] I will make a covenant between Me and you […] you will be the father of many nations.” In a covenant, there are obligations on both sides. On God’s side, it was that Abraham would be the father of many nations. On Abraham’s side, it was: “Walk before me.” The covenant would only be fulfilled if Abraham walked in the presence of God (Genesis 17:1-4).
4. “We remain connected to Christ when His word dwells in us: ‘If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you’ (John 15:7). When the word is instilled in us, we are able to remain in the vine. That is why it is so important to immerse ourselves in the word, shout war cries, and share the word with others” (Colossians 3:16) (Daily Food, book 3, week 1, Wednesday, p. 12).
