1. Our longing is that God’s will—to establish His kingdom on Earth—be fulfilled in our days. Our hearts should be like David’s, who would not give himself rest without first preparing a resting place for the Lord (Psalm 132:3-5).
2. We are not concerned merely with carrying out our own religious work; rather, we desire to fully fulfill God’s will in our day, so that His kingdom may be established on Earth. This kingdom will be established when the Father gives to the Son an army of holy youth. This army is Zion, the strong part of the church (Psalm 110:1-3).
3. The Lord Jesus became a servant and was obedient to the Father even to death on the cross. Therefore, God highly exalted Him, seating Him at His right hand in the heavenly places and placing all things under His feet. He is far above all rule, authority, and power, not only in this age but also in the age to come. However, not all things are subject to Him. Therefore, the Son relies on the church to fully fulfill this purpose (Eph. 1:20-23; Phil. 2:5-11; Heb. 2:8).
4. “We must live with a desperate and urgent desire to seek the Spirit’s guidance in the Word at all times. We are living in the last days. By setting up a power structure [of power, such as competing for offices, titles, or positions in the church], we may please some, but the results will not be lasting, since they do not come from the Spirit. Let us be simple. Let us be dependent. Let us follow the Spirit!” (Job 29:18; Matt. 20:20-28; John 3:8) (Daily Food, book 5, week 4, Monday, p. 57).
