“God is not a man, that He should lie” (Numbers 23:19). God’s Word is truth. To build on the foundation of God’s Word is to build on a rock-solid foundation (Luke 6:47-48).
To build on this rock-solid foundation is to be safe in the stronghold
of God’s salvation: “The salvation of the righteous comes from the
Lord; He is their stronghold in time of trouble. The Lord helps them
and delivers them; He delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in Him” (Psalm 37:39-40).
What God did for His people, Israel, was very great. There is a striking contrast between their slavery in Egypt and their abundance in the promised land. God had multiplied His blessing upon them, just as Jesus did when He turned water into wine (John 2:1-11). If the blessing is to be maintained and increased, we must honour the Lord. We must cry to Him for blessing: "Hear my prayer, O God, listen to the words of my mouth." We must call upon Him with faith: "Surely God is my help; the Lord is the One who sustains me" (Psalm 54:2,4).
