Tips for gentlemen.

1.-My son if you try to serve the Lord prepare for the test.

My father was a faithful servant of the Lord, the owner of the land where we lived, my father was a gentleman and at that time I did not yearn for anything more than to be like him, I naively thought that it should not be difficult, I think that is why my father He gave a series of advice that would accompany me throughout my life, wisdom that came from father to son and at that moment I did not appreciate its importance, it should be noted that I was soon able to appreciate it.

2.-Strengthen your will and be brave, so as not to flinch when calamity strikes.

In my first day of training where the instructor did not help anyone, I understood these words it became obvious in the first months that whoever was not willful and courageous would not pass the learning.

3.-Cling to the Lord and do not turn away from him, so in the end you will have prosperity.

The dictionary defines grasp as grasping something tightly and not letting it go in my case this was literally these words were understood by me at the moment in which I held my lord's hand on top of a cliff, I know what a bad time to have a spiritual awakening but what do I tell you? If that was what happened, certainly prosperity came at the moment in which my lord distributed the rewards.

4.-Accept everything that comes your way and be patient if life brings you suffering.

It was certainly not easy to understand this, luckily for my both broken legs together with an order of absolute rest gave me a lot of time to meditate.

5.-Because the value of gold is tested in the fire, and that of men in the furnace of suffering.

I needed a lot of help to understand this, curiously my lord had to explain it to me at the moment for me to understand.

6.-Trust in God and he will help you; proceed righteously and wait on him.

Basically this tells me that I must be honest and hope that others are since my lord is the one who fights my battles, my faith and trust is based on the idea that he does me justice.

7.-You who honor the Lord. Trust in his mercy; do not stray from the straight path, lest you fall.

Again this advice was applied to my life literally at that time it was part of an exploration campaign where the terrain was marked and irregular but had a marked safe path, those who neglected their steps fell into the abyss once more time and place wrong for a spiritual awakening and yet here we are.

8.-Those who honor the Lord, trust him and you will not be without reward.

I understood this at the time in which volunteer participants were requested to go on a virtually suicidal mission presided over by the lord of the territory, I was one of the few to go for that reason I was one of the few with whom the loot was shared.

9.-Those who honor the Lord hope for prosperity, eternal happiness, and God's love.

My life was testimony to this, curiously I understood it in my old age.

10.-Look at what happened in other times, no one who trusted the Lord was disappointed, no one who faithfully honored him was abandoned, everyone who invoked him, he listened to them.

Father, uncles, cousins and elders of my family along with anyone who chose a life of loyalty and fidelity towards the Lord taught me this with their lives.

11.-Because the Lord is tender and compassionate, forgives sins and saves in time of trouble.

Although I am wrong, my lord forgive me and help me in the moment of affliction.

12.-But there are cowardly hearts and lazy hands, there are sinners who lead a double life. 13.-Woe to the weak hearts that do not have confidence, God will not protect them. 14.-Woe to those who do not know bear with patience What will they do when the Lord puts them to the test?

These particular tips were revealed to me in one of the knight training trainings where waiting was the most important lesson, crowd started training small herd how complete those who gave up midway had to start training from scratch Of course, that option was given to them after they passed the corresponding corrective.

15.-Those who honor the Lord obey what he orders; Those who love him gladly comply with his law .16.-Those who honor the Lord try to do what pleases him; those who love him gladly comply with his law.

I am ashamed to tell you that I did not understand this advice until I had my own children whom I had to correct, more than once, in one of those situations these words came out of my mouth "you don't love me, sonny if you loved me you would respect my rules "I myself was embarrassed by the words spoken by my mouth since I understood the fact that more than once I did not love and respect my lord.

17.-Those who honor the Lord are always ready to humble themselves before him.

It should be noted that the humiliation that this advice presents has nothing to do with being ashamed, on the contrary, it talks about depending on a person refers to the fact that if you love someone enough to trust your life and depend on it.

18.-Let us put ourselves in the hands of the Lord, and not in the hands of men because God's love equals his greatness.

This final advice is the most important, if you must depend on someone depends on the Lord.
