Hazme conocer tus propios caminos, oh Jehová (Sal. 25:4).
El deseo de agradar a Jehová debe impulsarnos a pedirle que nos dé sabiduría. Moisés, por ejemplo, le pidió a Jehová que le enseñara sus caminos. Le dijo: “Mira, tú me estás diciendo: ‘Haz subir a este pueblo [de Egipto]’ [...]. Y ahora, si he hallado favor a tus ojos, sírvete hacerme conocer, por favor, tus caminos” (Éxo. 33:12, 13). Moisés necesitaba conocer mejor las sendas divinas para poder dirigir al pueblo de Israel, y Dios le concedió su petición. Salomón pidió sabiduría para encargarse de sus deberes reales. Su oración le agradó tanto a Jehová que no solo le concedió lo que había pedido, sino que también le dio riquezas y gloria (1 Rey. 3:7-14). Si nos sentimos abrumados por las responsabilidades que hemos recibido en la congregación, pidámosle a Dios sabiduría y seamos humildes. Él nos ayudará a adquirir el conocimiento y la sabiduría necesarios para desempeñar bien nuestros deberes.

Make me know your own ways, O Jehovah.—Ps. 25:4.
A desire to please Jehovah should motivate you to pray for wisdom. Moses prayed for knowledge of God’s ways. “See,” he pleaded, “you [Jehovah] are saying to me, ‘Lead this people up [from Egypt]’ . . . And now, if, please, I have found favor in your eyes, make me know, please, your ways.” (Ex. 33:12, 13) In response, God gave Moses greater knowledge of His ways—a necessity if he was to take the lead among Jehovah’s people. Solomon entreated God for the wisdom required to discharge the duties of kingship in Israel. Solomon’s prayer pleased Jehovah, who gave him not only what he requested but also riches and glory. (1 Ki. 3:7-14) If you receive service privileges that seem overwhelming, pray for wisdom and display a humble spirit. Then God will help you to acquire the knowledge and exercise the wisdom needed to care for your responsibilities in a proper and loving manner.
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.”
