1. When he met God, Abraham believed and trusted Him completely as his Father. He gave himself completely to Him. Abraham wanted to serve this true God because, as the Almighty, He is capable of all things, and He could take good care of him and his family (Rom 4:3; Acts 7:2-3).
2. While we are on earth, preaching the gospel of the Kingdom to reach more “earths”—the human heart—God is sanctifying us through the word, which is truth. The words that God speaks to us needs to be instilled, engraved on our hearts. In this way, the truth is deposited in us and sanctifies us (John 17:17; Eph. 5:26; Deut. 6:6-7).
3. The last shall be first. It is not by man’s ability, but by love for the word, by a contrite and humble spirit, by childlike simplicity. We have nothing to boast about, but we have the word, the Holy Spirit, and the power of the Father. The power does not belong to man; it belongs to God. Therefore, the Lord chose the despised things of the world, He chose the weak things to shame the strong (Isa. 57:15; Matt. 20:16; 1 Cor. 1:27-29).
4. “God knows that only hearing is not enough, so He instructs us to practice His words (Deuteronomy 6:3). If we diligently hear the word of the Lord and practice and keep His covenant, our lives will go well. God is the Only One powerful to give us life so that the word can have effect in us (v. 4)” (Exodus 19:5-6) (Daily Food, book 2, week 3, Tuesday, p. 43).
