“Be Swift About Hearing”

 
James 1:19 advises: “Every man must be swift about hearing, slow about speaking, slow about wrath.” This is particularly true when we are receiving counsel. Why? For one thing, is it not true that we are often aware of our own shortcomings, and it does not come as a complete surprise when a concerned friend points them out and offers counsel? It surely makes it easier for all concerned if we quickly discern what he is trying to say and humbly accept the loving help.
 
When a friend approaches us with counsel, we should remember that he or she may be quite nervous. It is not easy to give counsel. Perhaps the would-be counselor has given much thought to the words or approach to be used. An elder may begin the conversation by commending us for some area of Christian service in which we have been doing well. But that should not cause us to question his motives when he goes on to offer counsel. The one offering counsel may speak in an indirect way at first, trying not to be tactless or blunt. Our being discerning enough to get the point quickly will help the counselor in his task and perhaps spare us hurt feelings.
 
Sometimes the counselor may use an example or an illustration to help us get the point. One young man had not yet become a serious wrongdoer, but he was on an errant course. In reasoning with him, an older Christian man picked up a ruler that was lying on the desk. Flexing the ruler in his hands, he asked: “If I bend a ruler like this, can I still measure a straight line with it?” The young man got the point. He had been trying to bend the rules to fit his own desires. The illustration helped him to follow the wise advice of Proverbs 19:20: “Listen to counsel and accept discipline.”

Use Each Day of Your Life for God’s Glory

 
“IN THE morning cause me to hear your loving-kindness,” prayed the psalmist David to Jehovah. “Make known to me the way in which I should walk.” (Ps. 143:8) When you wake up and thank Jehovah for a new day of life, do you, like David, entreat Jehovah to guide you in making decisions and taking the best course of action? No doubt you do.
 
As dedicated servants of Jehovah, “whether [we] are eating or drinking or doing anything else,” we strive to “do all things for God’s glory.” (1 Cor. 10:31) We realize that the way we live our daily life will either honor or dishonor Jehovah. We also remember that God’s Word states that Satan is accusing Christ’s brothers—and, in fact, all of God’s servants on earth—“day and night.” (Rev. 12:10) Therefore, we are determined to give a reply to Satan’s false accusations and to make Jehovah’s heart rejoice by rendering sacred service to our heavenly Father “day and night.”—Rev. 7:15; Prov. 27:11.
 
Let us briefly consider two important ways in which we can use each day of our life for God’s glory. The first involves getting our priorities right and the second, showing consideration for others.

Vivamos todos los días para la gloria de Dios

 
“POR la mañana hazme oír tu bondad amorosa [...]. Dame a conocer el camino en que debo andar”, suplicó el salmista David en oración (Sal. 143:8). Seguro que al despertar cada mañana y darle gracias a Jehová por otro día más de vida, usted también le pide, al igual que David, que lo ayude a tomar decisiones y actuar de la mejor manera.
 
“Sea que est[emos] comiendo, o bebiendo, o haciendo cualquier otra cosa”, los cristianos dedicados nos esforzamos por “ha[cer] todas las cosas para la gloria de Dios” (1 Cor. 10:31). Sabemos que en nuestra vida diaria podemos honrar o deshonrar a Jehová. También tenemos presente que, según la Biblia, Satanás está acusando “día y noche” a los hermanos de Cristo y, de hecho, a todos los siervos de Dios en la Tierra (Rev. 12:10). Por lo tanto, estamos resueltos a desmentir las difamaciones del Diablo y a regocijar el corazón de Jehová rindiéndole servicio sagrado “día y noche” (Rev. 7:15; Pro. 27:11).
 
Destaquemos dos maneras importantes de dar gloria a Dios todos los días. La primera tiene que ver con establecer adecuadamente nuestras prioridades, y la segunda, con velar siempre por los intereses de los demás.
