Alma
A alma é a parte mais íntima do ser humano — sede da vida, dos afetos e do encontro com Deus. A Bíblia convida a cuidar da alma com zelo e a aquietá-la diante do Senhor.
A alma diante de Deus
Bendize ao Senhor, ó minha alma! A alma suspira por Deus como a corça suspira pelas águas — com sede de eternidade.
1 Praise the LORD, my soul!
All that is within me, praise his holy name!
1 God, you are my God.
I will earnestly seek you.
My soul thirsts for you.
My flesh longs for you,
in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.
11 Why are you in despair, my soul?
Why are you disturbed within me?
Hope in God! For I shall still praise him,
the saving help of my countenance, and my God.
1 My soul rests in God alone.
My salvation [yeshuah-ti] is from him.
5 I wait for the LORD.
My soul waits.
I hope in his word.
23 My lips shall shout for joy!
My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!
7 The LORD’s law is perfect, restoring the soul.
The LORD’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.
13 For you formed my inmost being.
You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I will give thanks to you,
for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Your works are wonderful.
My soul knows that very well.
2 Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips,
from a deceitful tongue.
Cuidar da alma
Que aproveita ao homem ganhar o mundo inteiro e perder a sua alma? Buscar a Deus de toda alma é o caminho da vida.
26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?
37 Yeshua said to him, "‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
28 Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehinnom.
29 But from there you shall seek the LORD your God, and you will find him when you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.
5 Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commandments, to hold fast to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul."
14 "Behold, today I am going the way of all the earth. You know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spoke concerning you. All have happened to you. Not one thing has failed of it.
13 You shall seek me, and find me, when you search for me with all your heart.
16 The LORD says, "Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, ‘Where is the good way?’ and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
24 Pleasant words are a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.
