Domingo 26 de junio
De ninguna manera estamos dando causa alguna para tropiezo, para que no se encuentre falta en nuestro ministerio; antes bien, de toda manera nos recomendamos como ministros de Dios (2 Cor. 6:3, 4).
Hay quien pudiera decir que la forma de vestirse y arreglarse, así como la selección del entretenimiento, son asuntos privados. Sin embargo, los cristianos que valoran su lugar en la congregación saben que al tomar decisiones sobre estos asuntos no pueden basarse exclusivamente en sus preferencias. Lo que más debe preocuparles es el punto de vista de Jehová, el cual se revela en las páginas de la Biblia. El mensaje de las Escrituras debe ser como “una lámpara para [nuestro] pie” y como “una luz para [nuestra] vereda” (Sal. 119:105). De modo que no debemos dejar que se desarrolle en nosotros una actitud independiente. También es necesario pensar en el efecto que esas decisiones tendrán en nuestro ministerio y en las personas que nos rodean, sea que sirvan a Jehová o no.
Sunday, June 26
In no way are we giving any cause for stumbling, that our ministry might not be found fault with; but in every way we recommend ourselves as God’s ministers.—2 Cor. 6:3, 4.
Some might reason that areas such as entertainment and dress and grooming are personal matters. For the dedicated Christian who cherishes his place in the congregation, though, personal preferences should not be the sole determining factor when making decisions. Consideration must especially be given to Jehovah’s viewpoint as revealed through his Word, the Bible. Its message should prove to be ‘a lamp to our foot, and a light to our roadway.’ (Ps. 119:105) Thus we can guard against developing a spirit of independence. We are wise also to consider how the choices we make in personal matters affect our ministry and other people, both inside and outside the congregation.
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.”
