When
I visited Mexico, I wished I knew how to speak Spanish. I could say gracias (thank
you), muy
bien (very good), and hola (hello). But that was
about it. I grew tired of just saying gracias to everyone who talked with me or did something for me. But we should never grow tired of giving words of thanks to
God. David knew the importance of saying thanks. After he became king over Israel and had a tent constructed to house the ark of the covenant (where God’s presence dwelt), he appointed some of the Levites “to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the Lord” (1 Chron. 16:4). Many people remained there to offer sacrifices and give thanks to God daily (vv.37-38). His psalm gave thanks for what the Lord had done: “His deeds among the peoples” (v.8), “His wondrous works” (v.9), “His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth” (v.12), and His “salvation” (v.35). David’s song
also gave praise for who the Lord was:
good, merciful, and holy (vv.34-35). |

Esfuércense por mantener la unidad del Espíritu mediante el vínculo de la paz." — Efesios 4:2-3 (NVI) 💡 Reflexión: La Unidad que Edifica el Cuerpo Para la Iglesia Cristiana Evangélica, la comunión no es simplemente una reunión social o compartir un momento ameno entre amigos. La comunión bíblica (koinonía) es una participación profunda en la vida de Cristo y en la de nuestros hermanos, sustentada por el Espíritu Santo. Es natural que en cualquier comunidad, familia o congregación surjan diferencias de opinión, roces o momentos donde las personalidades chokan. La clave para vivir en una verdadera comunión no radica en la ausencia de conflictos, sino en las actitudes del corazón con las que decidimos responder ante ellos. La Palabra de Dios nos señala las herramientas indispensables: la humildad para no creernos superiores, la amabilidad para tratar al otro con dignidad, la pac...
