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.”

Pro. 15:8—Prov. 15:8.
Viernes 2 de septiembre
La oración de los rectos le es un placer [a Jehová] (Pro. 15:8).
Es preciso orar siempre por ayuda y guía, pues Dios “puede hacer más que sobreabundantemente [...] todas las cosas que pedimos o concebimos” (Efe. 3:20; Luc. 11:13). Pero quizá alguien diga: “¿Por qué tienen los cristianos que seguir rogándole a Dios, si él ya sabe ‘qué cosas necesitan [...] antes que se las pidan’?” (Mat. 6:8). Para empezar, porque al pedirle espíritu santo demostramos que confiamos en él. Pensemos en las razones que nos llevan a ayudar a una persona. ¿No es cierto que a veces lo hacemos porque nos gusta que haya confiado en nosotros y nos haya pedido ayuda? (Compárese con Proverbios 3:27.) Del mismo modo, a Jehová le complace que acudamos a él para pedirle su espíritu, y sin falta nos lo dará. Otro marco donde nos exponemos a la influencia del espíritu es en nuestras reuniones y asambleas. Es muy importante que nos esforcemos por prestar buena atención. Así lograremos comprender “las cosas profundas de Dios” (1 Cor. 2:10).

The prayer of the upright ones is a pleasure to [Jehovah].—Prov. 15:8.
We need to keep asking for Jehovah’s help and guidance. He can “do more than superabundantly beyond all the things we ask or conceive.” (Eph. 3:20; Luke 11:13) How would you answer, though, if someone inquired, “Why should I continue to ask if God already knows ‘what things I am needing before ever I ask him’?” (Matt. 6:8) Well, for one thing, by praying for holy spirit, you acknowledge your reliance on Jehovah. For example, if someone came to you for aid, you would do whatever you could to help him, one reason being that he asked you to assist him, showing trust in you. (Compare Proverbs 3:27.) Likewise, Jehovah finds pleasure in your asking him for his spirit, and he will give it to you. Another way to come under the influence of God’s spirit involves our meetings, assemblies, and conventions. Paying attention to the program is very important in understanding “the deep things of God.”—1 Cor. 2:10.
