TAGALOG: Teksto sa araw-araw Miyerkules, Hunyo 12 “Si Abraham ay nanampalataya kay Jehova, at ibinilang itong katuwiran sa kaniya,” at siya ay tinawag na “kaibigan ni Jehova.”—Sant. 2:23. Ipinakita ni Abraham ang kaniyang pananampalataya sa pamamagitan ng pakikipagpayapaan sa iba. Halimbawa, nang dumami ang mga alagang hayop ni Abraham, nag-away ang mga tagapag-alaga ng kaniyang kawan at ng pamangkin niyang si Lot. (Gen. 12:5; 13:7) Maliwanag na kailangang maghiwalay sina Abraham at Lot. Sa halip na igiit ang kaniyang kagustuhan dahil siya ang nakatatanda at kaibigan siya ng Diyos, ipinakita ni Abraham na siya ay taong mapagpayapa. Sinabi niya kay Lot: “Pakisuyo, huwag magpatuloy ang anumang awayan sa pagitan natin at sa pagitan ng aking mga tagapag-alaga ng kawan at ng iyong mga tagapag-alaga ng kawan, sapagkat tayong mga lalaki ay magkakapatid.” Sinabi pa niya: “Hindi ba ang buong lupain ay nakalaan sa iyo? Pakisuyo, humiwalay ka sa akin. Kung paroroon ka sa kaliwa, kung gayon ay paroroon ako sa kanan; ngunit kung paroroon ka sa kanan, kung gayon ay paroroon ako sa kaliwa.” Pinili ni Lot ang pinakamatabang bahagi ng lupain, pero hindi nagkimkim ng sama ng loob si Abraham sa kaniya.—Gen. 13:8-11. w11 8/15 3:9, 10 ENGLISH: Wednesday, June 12 “Abraham put faith in Jehovah, and it was counted to him as righteousness,” and he came to be called “Jehovah’s friend.”—Jas. 2:23. Abraham’s faith was made evident by his peace-loving ways. For example, as Abraham’s flocks and herds increased, tension developed between his herdsmen and those of his nephew Lot. (Gen. 12:5; 13:7) The obvious solution was that Abraham and Lot separate. Instead of using his age and status with God to tell his nephew what to do, Abraham proved himself to be a true peacemaker. “Please, do not let any quarreling continue between me and you and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen,” Abraham told his nephew, “for we men are brothers.” The patriarch continued: “Is not the whole land available to you? Please, separate from me. If you go to the left, then I will go to the right; but if you go to the right, then I will go to the left.” Lot chose the most fertile part of the land, but Abraham held no grudge against him.—Gen. 13:8-11. w11 8/15 3:9, 10 wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2013/6/12
