1. Abraham sought to find the True God and serve Him. However, Lot, his nephew, had his heart set on his own interests and, although blessed to be with Abraham, chose to separate from him, opting for the plain because it offered easier living conditions. Let us not choose a comfortable life! Even if the path seems more difficult, let us persevere in following and serving the Lord (Genesis 13:5-13; Matthew 7:13-14).
2. When Lot separated from Abraham, God was able to openly discuss with him the land He would give him. When hearts are set on personal interests—such as position or fame—the Lord cannot move forward. But when only pure hearts remain, like Abraham’s, God says: “Lift up your eyes, arise, and walk through the land, for I will give it to you!” (Genesis 13:14-15, 17).
3. God says to you today: “Lift up your eyes!” He is counting on us so that His will may be done on Earth. Let us not be bound by our surroundings nor limited by our needs. He wants to give us “the whole Earth”! Let us be willing to go and submit it to Christ, wherever He sends us. We are co-heirs with Christ and will inherit the Earth with Him (Genesis 13:14-15, 17; Romans 8:17).
4. “Our mission is to preach the gospel, in order to bring the kingdom of Christ upon men […] When the church fulfills this mission, subjecting all things to Christ, the end will come. This moment is near. We have no time to lose” (Matthew 24:14) (Daily Food, book 2, week 3, Monday, p. 40).
