1. When the two disciples were on their way to Emmaus, their hearts burned within them while Jesus spoke to them. Likewise, our hearts should burn within us when we hear the voice of the Lord. How do we know that we are hearing the Lord in a personal and living way? It is when our hearts burn within us (Luke 24:13-32).
2. Through these messages, we desire to hear the living voice of the Lord. We do not want to hear it superficially. May our—my—heart burn again for the Lord! In this way, we will do nothing mechanically. In everything, we need to seek the living word of the Lord, which gives us direction and releases the Spirit, who works miracles in our midst (Galatians 3:2, 5).
3. As we attentively listen to the word of the Lord, our lives grow, because the life of God—which is love—grows within us. When we grow in life, we have a foundation of love upon which to build up with our brothers and sisters. God needs a church that is built up; therefore, we want and should work to build it up (1 John 4:7-8; Ephesians 3:17-19; Matthew 16:18).
4. “Just as in the days of Noah, we live in difficult times and need to walk in purity and holiness, especially in the relationship between brothers and sisters who are not spouses, with respect, prudence, and without giving occasion to the flesh. While we preach the gospel of the kingdom, the enemy tries to strike us through moral breaches. Therefore, we must remain vigilant and holy” (Matthew 24:38-39, 42; Galatians 5:13) (Daily Food, book 5, week 1, Monday, p. 5).
