Están murmurando contra mí (Núm. 14:27).
Cuando los israelitas se quejaron de Moisés y se rebelaron contra él, Jehová lo vio como una insubordinación contra su propia persona (Núm. 14:26, 27). Dios no ha cambiado. Rebelarse contra aquellos a quienes ha concedido autoridad equivale a rebelarse contra él. El apóstol Pablo revela la actitud que debemos tener hacia quienes ejercen autoridad dentro de la congregación cristiana. Él escribió: “Sean obedientes a los que llevan la delantera entre ustedes, y sean sumisos, porque ellos están velando por las almas de ustedes como los que han de rendir cuenta; para que ellos lo hagan con gozo y no con suspiros, por cuanto esto les sería gravemente dañoso a ustedes” (Heb. 13:17). Es verdad que no siempre se nos hace fácil ser obedientes y sumisos. Pero recordemos que de esa manera lograremos mantenernos en el amor de Dios. ¿Verdad que vale la pena el esfuerzo?

They are murmuring against me.—Num. 14:27.
When the Israelites murmured and rebelled against Moses, Jehovah took their rebellious actions personally, as directed against him. (Num. 14:26, 27) God has not changed. If we were ever to rebel against those he has put in positions of authority, we would be rebelling against him! The apostle Paul reveals the right attitude to cultivate toward those who have positions of responsibility in the Christian congregation. He wrote: “Be obedient to those who are taking the lead among you and be submissive, for they are keeping watch over your souls as those who will render an account; that they may do this with joy and not with sighing, for this would be damaging to you.” (Heb. 13:17) Granted, it takes real effort on our part to develop such an obedient and submissive spirit. Remember, though, that we are working to remain in God’s love. Is that goal not worth our every effort?
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.”
