Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
La gente mayor ya no es tan respetada en las culturas occidentales como antes. La Biblia nos recuerda repetidas veces que nos es necesario honrar a los que son espirituales y los que son mayores. No importa si en este pasaje el autor se refiere a su padre físico o sencillamente a una persona que le había servido como guía, el principio es el mismo. Tenemos mucho que aprender por medio de escuchar a los que han servido a Dios por muchos años y se han probado como sabios y fieles.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Those who are older are not as respected in Western cultures today as they once were and as "the elders" are respected in other cultures. The Bible repeatedly reminds us of our NEED to honor those who are godly and who have gone before us. Whether the father behind this passage is the physical father of the person receiving instruction or he was the teacher of this student seeking wisdom, either way the principle is the same. We have much to learn and much to gain from heeding the voice of those who have served God for many years and have proved themselves wise and faithful.
Mi oración
Dios Amoroso y Padre Todopoderoso, gracias por la gente sabia en mi vida quienes han compartido tu sabiduría y experiencia conmigo. Ayúdales a saber cuánto los aprecio por amar y guiarme. Utilízame para hacer lo mismo con los que me siguen. En el nombre de Jesús, oro, Amén.
My Prayer...
Loving God and Almighty Father, thank you for those wise people in my life that have shared your wisdom and their experience with me. Please help them know how much I appreciate their investment of love and guidance in me and please use me to do the same for those who come after me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
