Derek uses the experience of his wife, Lydia’s, death to expose us to the reality of this temporary life. Instead, we must hang on to the strength and truth of the eternal. We should be willing to give up what we have here in this life, trusting that God cares and has a plan for us. In the midst of all that is impermanent and fading, it is only the Word of God that is enduring and permanent, unshakable, unmovable, and eternal.

Today Derek emphasizes that you receive your calling from God on the day when you are saved. He then challenges us to decide to do whatever it takes to find and fulfill that calling. We must make it our goal to put our calling first in our life, and as we do, we will find that other things fit into place.

Derek takes the calling of God and extends it by showing us that we are to be servants. Even though that may entail suffering, we must first be servants of the Word and then servants of the people. If these are the other way round, it can lead to many problems. Nothing else can come before serving the Word of God.
