Sábado 6 de agosto
Si saludan a sus hermanos solamente, ¿qué cosa extraordinaria hacen? ¿No hace la misma cosa también la gente de las naciones? (Mat. 5:47.)
En la vida tan acelerada que hoy día es común en muchos lugares, no es raro que dos personas se crucen sin siquiera decirse “hola” o “buenos días”. Por supuesto, no se espera que vayamos saludando a todo el que encontremos en una calle concurrida. Sin embargo, hay muchas otras situaciones en que saludar es apropiado y aconsejable. ¿Tiene usted la costumbre de saludar? ¿O sigue caminando sin sonreír ni decir palabra? Aun sin quererlo, alguien podría adquirir este mal hábito, que en realidad demuestra falta de educación. Respecto a la importancia del saludo, el asesor Donald Weiss escribió: “A nadie le cae bien que los demás pasen de largo sin mirarlo siquiera. [...] La solución es sencilla: salude a los demás y hable con ellos”. En efecto: si tenemos cuidado de no tratar con frialdad o indiferencia a quienes nos rodean, obtendremos buenos resultados.
Saturday, August 6
If you greet your brothers only, what extraordinary thing are you doing? Are not also the people of the nations doing the same thing?—Matt. 5:47.
In the fast-paced life that is common in many places today, two people often pass each other without saying “hello” or “how are you?” Of course, no one is expected to speak to everyone passing by on a crowded sidewalk. In many other situations, however, it is appropriate and desirable to greet others. Is it your custom to greet people? Or do you often walk by without a smile or a pleasant word? With no bad intention, a person could develop a habit that is in reality ill-mannered. In this regard, consultant Donald Weiss wrote: “People resent it when others look through or past them. . . . The remedy is simple: Greet people. Talk to them.” If we do not let aloofness or coldness on our part chill our contact with others, we will have good results.
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.”
