[Dios] da bondad inmerecida a los humildes (1 Ped. 5:5).
¿Qué requisitos hemos de cumplir para recibir la educación divina? Uno muy importante es ser dóciles y dejarnos enseñar. El salmista David escribió: “[Jehová] enseñará a los mansos Su camino” (Sal. 25:8, 9). Además, Jesús dijo: “Has escondido cuidadosamente estas cosas de los sabios e intelectuales y las has revelado a los pequeñuelos” (Luc. 10:21). ¿Fue por mérito propio que encontramos la verdad, que nos dimos cuenta de que este era el camino que debíamos seguir? No; jamás habríamos conocido a Dios por nuestros propios medios. Jesús dijo: “Nadie puede venir a mí a menos que el Padre, que me envió, lo atraiga” (Juan 6:44). Así es, Jehová atrae a “las cosas deseables de todas las naciones”, es decir, a las personas mansas como ovejas, y lo hace mediante la predicación de las buenas nuevas y su espíritu santo (Ageo 2:7). ¿No se siente usted agradecido por ser una de las personas a quienes Jehová ha atraído hacia su Hijo? (Jer. 9:23, 24.)

[God] gives undeserved kindness to the humble ones.—1 Pet. 5:5.
How can we qualify to benefit from divine education? A major requirement is that a person be meek and teachable. The psalmist David wrote: “[Jehovah] will teach the meek ones his way.” (Ps. 25:8, 9) And Jesus said: “You have carefully hidden these things from wise and intellectual ones, and have revealed them to babes.” (Luke 10:21) As servants of Jehovah, can we credit ourselves with having the good sense to find the truth? No. In fact, on our own initiative, we would never have come to a knowledge of God. Jesus said: “No man can come to me unless the Father, who sent me, draws him.” (John 6:44) By means of the preaching work and by means of holy spirit, Jehovah is drawing sheeplike individuals, “the desirable things of all the nations.” (Hag. 2:7) Are you not grateful to be one of those whom Jehovah has drawn to his Son?—Jer. 9:23, 24.
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
