1. Isaac did not have the same discernment as his father. Abraham had discernment because he walked with God, knew His heart, and was His prophet. Through the fellowship he maintained with God, the Lord spoke first to His servant Abraham. Therefore, today we too must walk with God to perceive the divine feeling through the present word (James 2:23).
2. Our judgment and discernment cannot be clouded when someone does something that pleases our natural desire. A servant of God cannot stray from the path God has set for him because of the satisfaction of personal interests (Genesis 25:28).
3. We cannot hinder the Lord’s work by camouflaging our true spiritual condition in order to obtain praise, prominence, or some kind of religious performance. God desires that we have a real life with Him, so that we may be used more intensely before men (1 Thessalonians 2:5-6).
4. “In the Gospel of Matthew, it is written: ‘And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come’ (24:14). In light of this, let us engage more firmly in the purpose of fighting for the kingdom and become part of Zion” (Daily Food, book 5, week 2, Thursday, p. 29).
