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. Para que nuestras familias sean bendecidas, el cabeza de familia —el esposo o el padre— debe ser sabio. Para que nuestras empresas sean bendecidas, el presidente debe se...
We focus on the eternal
authority of the Lord.
Daniel 4:34 says:
"At the end of that
time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven,
and my sanity was
restored. Then I praised the Most High;
I honored and glorified
him who lives forever.
His dominion is an
eternal dominion;
his kingdom endures from
generation to generation."
King Nebuchadnezzar,
while walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon, said,
"Is not this the
great Babylon I have built as the royal residence,
by my mighty power and
for the glory of my majesty?" (v. 30).
Before he finished
speaking, a voice from heaven proclaimed,
"'King
Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken:
The kingdom has departed
from you, and you will be driven away from human society
and will live with the
wild animals; you will eat grass like the ox.
Seven times will pass by
for you until you acknowledge
that the Most High is sovereign over all
kingdoms on earth
and gives them to anyone
he wishes" (vv. 31-32).
The word spoken to King
Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled,
and after seven years
had passed, he looked up to heaven, and his sanity was restored.
Then he praised and
worshipped the Most High,
the eternal and living
God, in this way (Daniel 4:34):
"His dominion is an
eternal dominion;
his kingdom endures from
generation to generation" (v. 34).
In Daniel's vision, he
saw that authority, glory, and a kingdom were given to the "son of
man" by God,
so that all peoples,
nations, and languages should serve him.
His dominion is an
everlasting dominion that will not pass away,
and his kingdom is one
that will never be destroyed (v. 14).
The authority of the
Lord is an eternal authority.
This eternal authority
is the authority given by God the Father
to His Son, Jesus
Christ, to rule over all peoples.
Through this authority, the Lord gives eternal life to all whom the Father has given him (John 17:2).
Therefore, we pay attention to this eternal authority of the Lord.
