Jueces 21: La triste restauración de Benjamín.
Jueces 21:25 RVA2015:
En aquellos días no había rey en Israel, y cada uno hacía lo que le parecía recto ante sus propios ojos.
----------------------------------------------
Llegamos hoy al último capítulo del libro de Jueces. Hemos aprendido valiosas enseñanzas de ejemplos valerosos y admirables, y otras lecciones basadas en actos tristes y dolorosos de la historia de Israel que les trajeron consecuencias nefastas.
En este capítulo vemos la conclusión de la época de los jueces, termina contando como el pueblo se degradó a tal punto que ya no parecía el pueblo que reflejaba el poder y la gracia de Dios sino un pueblo desfigurado, reflejando la peor condición en que un ser humano puede llegar.
Israel reconoció su error e intentó enmendarlo pero en ese proceso de querer cambiar casi exterminan una tribu. Aquí los vemos humillados, con expresiones de remordimiento y dolor, y confundidos sin saber qué hacer. Intentaron reconstruir su relación con Dios pero las heridas eran muy profundas.
Además, se encontraron en que hicieron juramentos que trajeron más dolor y confusión al pueblo. Como pudieron y con sus recursos limitados reconstruyeron a la tribu de Benjamín y se ingeniaron un plan desesperado para darle mujeres a los pocos hombres que quedaron de Benjamín.
Al final, vemos que una vez más Israel estaba en una condición deplorable porque no tenían un líder que los gobernara con justicia, pues Dios era su Rey pero no era el centro de sus vidas; no tenían una relación fuerte y firme con Dios.
Hoy podemos llegar a la conclusión de que debemos establecer una autoridad firme en el hogar. Sea que seas una mujer sola o un hombre solo guiando a tu hogar, o tengas a tu pareja, edifiquen en el hogar un liderazgo claro, conciso y que brinde seguridad en el hogar.
El problema ocurre cuando los niños no verán esa figura y crecen después pasando a la etapa de la adolescencia y quieren hacer lo que les viene en gana, intentando sobrepasar la autoridad del hogar y querer manejarse solos. Ahí es donde tanto el padre como la madre se ponen de acuerdo y no se contradicen en la dirección del hogar. Establecen reglas de convivencia y comportamiento claras y con sentido común, basadas en prácticas que han funcionado anteriormente y que han servido para el buen funcionamiento del hogar en el pasado.
Si no se hace esto, en los momentos de prueba, no habrá un sistema establecido para que se pueda tomar decisiones correctas de corrección, disciplina y fortaleza para el miembro del hogar que esté pasando por ese momento.
Vale la pena compartir con otras familias, dialogando y compartiendo información de la forma en que muchos hijos fueron criados exitosamente, donde el matrimonio encontró métodos para mantenerse unidos y fuertes en su relación, superando muchas pruebas que no los derrotó sino que antes los hizo más fuertes y experimentados.
Seamos sabios y entendidos en el hogar, estableciendo en el núcleo familiar esta autoridad pero también buscando personas que sean ese pilar de sabiduría al cual podamos acudir para rendir cuentas a ellos y recibir ese consejo sabio, curtido de experiencias valiosas a aquellas familias que apenas comienzan.
Escucha bien a tu pastor cuando te aconseja o al anciano que sabe por lo que estás pasando, o a una pareja ejemplar cuando nos dé alguna sugerencia que nos va a beneficiar.
No vivas sin una autoridad superior. Sé autoridad en tu hogar pero no olvides la autoridad espiritual que Dios pone para tu vida.
Israel sufrió pérdida por querer hacer lo que les venía en gana, confiados en su propia opinión, guiándose por su instinto terrenal y no bajo la guianza del Espíritu de Dios. Pero tú no debes sufrir este mismo destino. ¡Fuimos llamados y escogidos para cosas grandes, para recibir la bendición de Dios, para ser usados como instrumentos en sus manos y decir firmemente: Mi casa y yo serviremos al Señor!
Mañana comenzamos otro libro de una historia en la época de los jueces, uno de los más emotivos por su historia tierna y con un final feliz.
Soy Eduardo Rodríguez. Que el Rey de reyes gobierne tu vida y te ayude a dirigir tu hogar bajo la dirección de su Santo Espíritu.

Judges 21: The sad restoration of Benjamin.
Judges 21:21-25:
and watch; and just when the daughters of Shiloh come out to perform their dances, then come out from the vineyards, and every man catch a wife for himself from the daughters of Shiloh; then go to the land of Benjamin. Then it shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to us to complain, that we will say to them, ‘Be kind to them for our sakes, because we did not take a wife for any of them in the war; for it is not as though you have given the women to them at this time, making yourselves guilty of your oath.’ ” And the children of Benjamin did so; they took enough wives for their number from those who danced, whom they caught. Then they went and returned to their inheritance, and they rebuilt the cities and dwelt in them. So the children of Israel departed from there at that time, every man to his tribe and family; they went out from there, every man to his inheritance.
In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes..
----------------------------------------------
Today we are at the last chapter of the book of Judges. We have learned valuable lessons from courageous and admirable examples, and other lessons based on sad and painful acts in Israel's history that brought them dire consequences.
In this chapter we see the conclusion of the time of the judges, it ends by telling how the people degraded to such an extent that they no longer seemed like the people that reflected the power and grace of God but rather a disfigured people, reflecting the worst condition in which a human can reach.
Israel recognized their mistake and tried to amend it, but in the process of wanting to change they almost exterminated a tribe. Here we see them humiliated, with expressions of remorse and pain, and confused, not knowing what to do. They tried to rebuild their relationship with God but the wounds were very deep.
Furthermore, they found that they swore oaths that brought more pain and confusion to the people. As best they could and with their limited resources they rebuilt the tribe of Benjamin and devised a desperate plan to give women to the few remaining men of Benjamin.
In the end, we see that once again Israel was in a deplorable condition because they did not have a leader to govern them with justice, because God was their King but He was not the center of their lives, they did not have a strong and firm relationship with God. .
Today we can come to the conclusion that we must establish a firm authority in the home. Whether you are a single woman or a single man leading your home, or have your partner, build clear, concise leadership at home and provide home security.
The problem occurs when the children will not see that figure and later grow up passing the stage of adolescence and want to do what they want, trying to overcome the authority of the home and wanting to manage themselves. That is where both the father and the mother agree and do not contradict each other in the direction of the home. They establish clear and common sense rules of coexistence and behavior, based on practices that have worked previously and that have served for the proper functioning of the home in the past.
If this is not done, in moments of trial, there will not be an established system so that correct decisions of correction, discipline and strength can be made for the member of the household who is going through that moment.
It is worth sharing with other families, discussing and sharing information on how many children were raised successfully, where the couple found methods to stay united and strong in their relationship, overcoming many tests that did not defeat them but instead made them stronger. strong and experienced.
Let us be wise and understanding at home, establishing this authority in the family nucleus but also looking for people who are that pillar of wisdom to which we can turn to be accountable to them and receive that wise advice, hardened by valuable experiences for those families that are just beginning.
Listen well to your pastor when he advises you or an elder who knows what you are going through, or to an exemplary couple when they give you some suggestions that will benefit us.
Don't live without a higher authority. Be an authority in your home but don't forget the spiritual authority that God puts in your life.
Israel suffered loss for wanting to do as they pleased, trusting in their own opinion, guided by their earthly instinct and not under the guidance of the Spirit of God. But you must not suffer this same fate. We were called and chosen for great things, to receive God's blessing, to be used as instruments in his hands; and firmly say: My house and I will serve the Lord!
Tomorrow we start another book of a story in the time of the judges, one of the most emotional for its tender story and with a happy ending.
I am Eduardo Rodríguez. May the King of kings rule your life and help you run your home under the guidance of His Holy Spirit.
