Enero 25 miércoles 1 Reyes 14 No desprecies los privilegios que Dios te dió."Ve y di a Jeroboam que así ha dicho el SEÑOR Dios de Israel: “Pues bien, yo te levanté de en medio del pueblo y te hice el soberano de mi pueblo Israel; arranqué el reino de la casa de David y te lo entregué a ti. Pero tú no has sido como mi siervo David, que guardó mis mandamientos y caminó en pos de mí con todo su corazón, haciendo solo lo recto ante mis ojos. Al contrario, has hecho lo malo, más que todos los que te han precedido, porque fuiste, y para provocarme a ira te hiciste otros dioses e imágenes de fundición; y a mí me diste la espalda."-----------En este capítulo vemos el juicio que Dios envió sobre Jeroboam el rey de Israel. Él fue escogido por Dios para que gobernara sobre las tribus del pueblo de Dios y se le encomendó esta tarea de forma concisa y clara. Dios le dijo que si él gobernaba con justicia y bajo los mandamientos del Señor, Dios lo iba bendecir y su reino sería estable y fuerte. Lamentablemente, Jeroboam se llenó de pensamientos de inseguridades, de arrogancia y confianza en sí mismo, y esto lo guió a tomar decisiones equivocadas. Guió al pueblo a la idolatría, permitió que el pueblo se desenfrenara y practicara su creencia que era contraria a la Palabra de Dios. Él formó su propia religión con prácticas inmorales y herejes. La maldad se metió hasta el corazón de todas las tribus de Israel y en poco tiempo la moralidad se degradó a un punto extremadamente bajo; mucho peor que en el tiempo de Salomón. Jeroboam pensó que todos estos años de malas decisiones, ignorando la Palabra de Dios y contrariando la verdad de Dios no iba a traerle consecuencias. Pensó que era fácil ignorar el llamado de Dios y abusar de la misericordia de Dios. Es por eso que cuando su hijo enfermó, envió a su esposa a consultar al profeta de Dios pero que lo hiciera disfrazándose. Algo parecido a lo que hizo Saúl cuando fue a ver a la hechicera.Así actúan los que están escondiendo algo y no quieren que sean sorprendidos. Jeroboam sabía que había estado actuando mal, pero cuando necesitó de la ayuda del profeta de Dios no quiso ser reconocido.Dios le dijo al profeta quien venía a encontrarlo y a consultarlo, y en ese mismo instante que él la vió, reveló su identidad y le dió el mensaje de Dios. Su hijo iba a morir como parte de las consecuencias del menosprecio de Jeroboam hacia Dios quien le dió privilegios tan grandes. Recordemos que él no era del linaje de Saúl o David, no tenía sangre real. Fue escogido y ungido directamente por un profeta para que hiciera la voluntad de Dios, como consecuencia de la desobediencia de Salomón. Aún así, él no valoró este llamado de Dios para que restaurara la vida espiritual del pueblo de Dios, sino que los corrompió. Espero que hoy podamos evaluar lo que estamos haciendo con nuestros dones, con el privilegio de ser llamados hijos de Dios. ¡Recordemos que somos reyes y sacerdotes para Dios! ¡Somos un linaje escogido, somos el pueblo de Dios! Llamados para impactar la generación donde vivimos. Capacitados para llevar el poder más grande para transformar vidas. Pero tengamos cuidado de no menguar o entristecer el regalo del Espíritu de Dios en nosotrosEfesios 4:30 dice: “No causen tristeza al Espíritu Santo de Dios, que es en ustedes como un sello que los distinguirá en el día de la liberación.” (BLPH).Y por último, no esperemos a que sea demasiado tarde, aprendamos de la historia de Esaú que nunca pudo recuperar el don de ser primogénito y ser acreedor de la herencia de su padre. Dice Hebreos 12:16-17: “… que ninguno sea inmoral ni profano como Esaú que, por una sola comida, vendió su propia primogenitura. Porque ya saben que fue reprobado, a pesar de que después quería heredar la bendición, porque no halló más ocasión de arrepentimiento, aunque lo buscó con lágrimas.”¿Estamos cuidando lo que Dios nos ha dado? ¿Estamos concientizando a los miembros de nuestra familia de los privilegios espirituales que tenemos en Dios? ¿Les estamos enseñando a que los cuiden?🇺🇸Do not despise the privileges that God gave you.1 Kings 14:1-9:At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam became sick. And Jeroboam said to his wife, “Please arise, and disguise yourself, that they may not recognize you as the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh. Indeed, Ahijah the prophet is there, who told me that I would be king over this people. Also take with you ten loaves, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him; he will tell you what will become of the child.” And Jeroboam’s wife did so; she arose and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were glazed by reason of his age. Now the Lord had said to Ahijah, “Here is the wife of Jeroboam, coming to ask you something about her son, for he is sick. Thus and thus you shall say to her; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman.” And so it was, when Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps as she came through the door, he said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be another person? For I have been sent to you with bad news. Go, tell Jeroboam, ‘Thus says the Lord God of Israel: “Because I exalted you from among the people, and made you ruler over My people Israel, and tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to you; and yet you have not been as My servant David, who kept My commandments and who followed Me with all his heart, to do only what was right in My eyes; but you have done more evil than all who were before you, for you have gone and made for yourself other gods and molded images to provoke Me to anger, and have cast Me behind your back—---------------------------------In this chapter we see the judgment that God sent on Jeroboam the king of Israel. He was chosen by God to rule over the tribes of God's people and was entrusted with this task concisely and clearly. God told him that if he ruled justly and under the commandments of the Lord, God would bless him and his kingdom would be stable and strong.Unfortunately, Jeroboam was filled with thoughts of insecurities, arrogance and self-confidence, which led him to make the wrong decisions. He led the people to idolatry, he allowed the people to unbridled and practice his belief that was contrary to the Word of God. He formed his own religion with immoral and heretical practices. Wickedness reached the heart of all the tribes of Israel and in a short time morality degraded to an extremely low point; much worse than in the time of Solomon.Jeroboam thought that all these years of bad decisions, ignoring God's Word and going against God's truth was not going to bring him any consequences. He thought it was easy to ignore God's call and abuse God's mercy. That's why when his son got sick, he sent his wife to consult the prophet of God but doing it in disguise. Something similar to what Saul did when he went to see the sorceress. This is how those who are hiding something and don't want to be surprised act. Jeroboam knew that he had been doing wrong, but when he needed the help of God's prophet he did not want to be recognized.God told the prophet who will come to meet him and consult him, and at that very moment that he saw her, he revealed her identity and gave her God's message. Their son was going to die as part of the consequences of Jeroboam's contempt for God who gave him such great privileges. Let us remember that he was not of the lineage of Saul or David, he had no royal blood. He was chosen and directly anointed by a prophet to do God's will, as a consequence to Solomon's disobedience. Even so, he did not appreciate this call from God to restore the spiritual life of God's people, but rather he corrupted them.I hope that today we can evaluate what we are doing with our gifts, with the privilege of being called children of God. Let us remember that we are kings and priests for God! We are a chosen lineage, we are the people of God! Called to impact the generation where we live. Trained to carry the greatest power to transform lives. But let us be careful not to diminish or sadden the gift of God's Spirit in us.Ephesians 4:30 says: “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.”And finally, let's not wait until it's too late, let's learn from the story of Esau who could never recover the gift of being the firstborn and be a creditor of his father's inheritance.Hebrews 12:16-17 says: “... lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.”Are we taking care of what God has given us? Are we making our family members aware of the spiritual privileges we have in God? Are we teaching them to care for them?#EduardoRodriguezR #HogaresDePactoDevocional Hosted on Acast.
