Agradecimento pela vida

Agradecer pela vida é reconhecer que cada respiração é dom de Deus. Toda criatura que tem fôlego louve ao Senhor — porque Ele nos formou e nos sustenta com amor.

6 Let everything that has breath and every breath of life praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)

Salmos 150:6

The Lord an Abundant Helper.

1 Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)

Praise the Lord, O my soul!

2 While I live I will praise the Lord;

I will sing praises to my God as long as I live.

Salmos 146:1,2

13 For You formed my innermost parts;

You knit me [together] in my mother’s womb.

14 I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

Wonderful are Your works,

And my soul knows it very well.

15 My frame was not hidden from You,

When I was being formed in secret,

And intricately and skillfully formed [as if embroidered with many colors] in the depths of the earth.

16 Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;

And in Your book were all written

The days that were appointed for me,

When as yet there was not one of them [even taking shape].

Salmos 139:13-16

33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;

I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

34 May my meditation be sweet and pleasing to Him;

As for me, I will rejoice and be glad in the Lord.

Salmos 104:33,34

3 Know and fully recognize with gratitude that the Lord Himself is God;

It is He who has made us, not we ourselves [and we are His].

We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. [Eph 2:10]

4 Enter His gates with a song of thanksgiving

And His courts with praise.

Be thankful to Him, bless and praise His name.

Salmos 100:3,4

7 How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!

The children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.

8 They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house;

And You allow them to drink from the river of Your delights.

9 For with You is the fountain of life [the fountain of life-giving water];

In Your light we see light. [John 4:10, 14]

Salmos 36:7-9

Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death.

1 I will extol and praise You, O Lord, for You have lifted me up,

And have not let my enemies rejoice over me.

2 O Lord my God,

I cried to You for help, and You have healed me.

3 O Lord, You have brought my life up from Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead);

You have kept me alive, so that I would not go down to the pit (grave).

Salmos 30:1-3

A Psalm of Thanksgiving for God’s Justice.

I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

Salmos 9:1,2

20 always giving thanks to God the Father for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

2 Coríntios 9:15

12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints (God’s people) in the Light.

The Incomparable Christ

13 For He has rescued us and has drawn us to Himself from the dominion of darkness, and has transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the forgiveness of our sins [and the cancellation of sins’ penalty].

15 He is the exact living image [the essential manifestation] of the unseen God [the visible representation of the invisible], the firstborn [the preeminent one, the sovereign, and the originator] of all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created in heaven and on earth, [things] visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [that is, by His activity] and for Him. 17 And He Himself existed and is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. [His is the controlling, cohesive force of the universe.] [Prov 8:22-31]
