¡Ten cuidado! ¡No hagas eso! Yo simplemente soy coesclavo tuyo y de tus hermanos (Rev. 22:9).
Los ángeles nos dan magníficas muestras de humildad. Por ejemplo, cuando a algunos de ellos les preguntaron su nombre, no quisieron revelarlo (Gén. 32:29; Jue. 13:17, 18). Salvo en el caso de Miguel y Gabriel, la Biblia no menciona el nombre de los millones de criaturas espirituales del cielo. De esta manera se evita que demos a los ángeles una honra que no les corresponde (Luc. 1:26; Rev. 12:7). Nuestra adoración y nuestras oraciones deben dirigirse únicamente a Dios (Mat. 4:8-10). Los ángeles también son un ejemplo de paciencia. Ellos están muy deseosos de conocer los secretos sagrados de Dios. Como dice la Biblia, “en estas mismas cosas los ángeles desean mirar con cuidado” (1 Ped. 1:12). No obstante, algunos de esos secretos todavía no se les han revelado. ¿Y cómo reaccionan? Esperan pacientemente a que Dios decida cuándo es el momento de dar “a conocer mediante la congregación” su “diversificada sabiduría” (Efe. 3:10, 11).
Wednesday, September 7
Be careful! Do not do that! All I am is a fellow slave of you and of your brothers.—Rev. 22:9.
Jehovah’s angels provide us with fine examples of humble service. Certain angels refused to disclose their names to humans. (Gen. 32:29; Judg. 13:17, 18) Although there are millions of spirit creatures in heaven, the Bible reveals the names of only Michael and Gabriel. This may serve as a safeguard against our giving angels undue honor. (Luke 1:26; Rev. 12:7) Our worship, including our prayers, should go only to God. (Matt. 4:8-10) The angels also set an example in patience. Though they are intensely interested in knowing God’s sacred secrets, they are not privy to all of them. “Into these very things angels are desiring to peer,” states the Bible. (1 Pet. 1:12) So, what do they do? They wait patiently until God’s due time for his “diversified wisdom” to “be made known through the congregation.”—Eph. 3:10, 11.
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.”
