1. Even as our days go by, we cannot grow old spiritually, for God desires to speak to us. The Lord still wants to guide His church, and we cannot remain attached to past experiences, whether individual or collective. Therefore, we need to remain sensitive, closely following the word, to be connected to the Spirit and discern what God wants us to accomplish today (Hosea 6:3a).
2. Past experiences were important for spiritual growth and maturity; however, they cannot replace new experiences with the Lord and in His work. Let us not cling to the old ways. God desires to advance the work rapidly; therefore, He has used the TCS (Troops, Captains and Senior Stewards). Everyone—teenagers, captains, David’s mighty men, and the senior stewards—can preach the gospel more quickly (Romans 7:6; Philippians 3:13).
3. If we grow old spiritually to the point of living only in the past, we will not be able to keep up with what God is doing today; moreover, we will hinder the advancement of the Spirit. Therefore, we need to constantly renew ourselves to love the Lord in a simple and sincere way, and, like children, have simplicity in order to enter the kingdom of heaven (Isaiah 43:18; Matthew 18:3).
4. “Who ruled over man in the Garden of Eden? God appeared in the cool of the day to have fellowship with man, so we believe that he was governed by the word that came from the mouth of God (Genesis 3:8)” (Daily Food, book 5, week 4, Wednesday, p. 62).
