El fundamento de la sabiduría [Eclesiastés 7:15–18] Durante la reunión de oración de esta mañana, medité sobre los temas de una familia bendecida, una iglesia bendecida y una nación bendecida, centrándome en 2 Crónicas 9:7: «¡Bienaventurados tus hombres! ¡Bienaventurados estos siervos tuyos, que están continuamente delante de ti y oyen tu sabiduría!». Al reflexionar sobre este versículo, contemplé la tremenda bendición que supone encontrar a un líder sabio. Esto se debe a que la nación de Israel fue bendecida precisamente porque su rey, Salomón, era sabio. Al defender la justicia y la rectitud, el sabio rey Salomón fortaleció a la nación (versículo 8); así, tal como observó la reina de Sabá, el pueblo de Israel era, en efecto, un pueblo bendecido.

God’s guidance that we
cannot understand with our intellect
Certainly, because God
made a covenant with Abraham and gave him the word of promise,

and left his homeland, relatives,
and household to go to
the land God directed him to, Canaan.
There, he built an altar
for God and worshipped Him.
However, a severe famine
struck the land of Canaan
(Genesis 12:1-10).
Why did God lead Abraham
in this way?
Why did God, through the
prophet Elijah,
clearly state to King
Ahab that there would be no rain
for several years
without the word of God,
and then command Elijah
to go to the brook Cherith
where the water would
certainly dry up (1 Kings 17:1-3)?
After some time, when no
rain fell on the land, the brook dried up as well.
How did God lead Elijah
to the widow of Zarephath,
who was preparing to
make the last meal for herself and her son? (vv. 7-12).
Isn't God's guidance
beyond our understanding?
This reminds me of
Proverbs 3:5-6:
"Trust in the LORD
with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding.
In all your ways
acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."
