Viernes 6 de mayo
Respeten a los que trabajan duro entre ustedes y los presiden (1 Tes. 5:12).
Debemos respetar la autoridad. Ahora bien, en ocasiones puede ser difícil hacerlo. ¿Por qué? Por un lado, porque los seres humanos que tienen autoridad sobre nosotros son personas imperfectas. Y por otro lado, porque nosotros mismos somos imperfectos y, por tanto, tenemos una tendencia innata a la rebeldía. Por eso, quizás alguien se pregunte: “Si cuesta tanto trabajo respetar la autoridad, ¿por qué hay que hacerlo?”. La respuesta se relaciona directamente con la cuestión de la soberanía de Dios. Si una persona elige a Jehová como soberano, debe respetar su autoridad. Si no, sería difícil creer que lo acepta como Rey. Además, Jehová suele ejercer su autoridad valiéndose de humanos imperfectos a quienes coloca al cuidado de su pueblo. Si nos rebeláramos contra ellos, ¿cómo nos vería Jehová? (1 Tes. 5:13.)
Friday, May 6
Have regard for those who are working hard among you and presiding over you.—1 Thess. 5:12.
We must show respect for authority. Why is this so difficult for us to do at times? For one thing, humans in positions of authority are imperfect. In addition, we ourselves are imperfect. We struggle with an inborn tendency to rebel. You might wonder, then, ‘If it is such a challenge for us to respect authority, why do we need to do it?’ The answer comes down to the issue of sovereignty. Whom will you choose as your sovereign, your ruler? If we choose Jehovah as our Sovereign, we need to respect his authority. If we do not, can we truthfully call him our Ruler? Furthermore, Jehovah usually exercises his authority through imperfect humans whom he entrusts with responsibility to care for his people. If we were to rebel against those humans, how would Jehovah view our actions?—1 Thess. 5:13.
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.”
