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 Bless Jehovah, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name!
1 O God, You are my Mighty God. I will seek You earnestly; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You, as in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.
11 Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why do you murmur within me? Hope in God; for I still praise Him for the deliverance coming from the presence of my God.
1 Only before God is my soul silent; from Him comes my salvation.
5 I have waited for Jehovah, my soul has waited, and in His Word I have hoped.
23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I make music unto You, and my soul, which You have redeemed.
7 The Law of Jehovah is perfect, converting the soul; the Testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple.
13 For You have possessed my inward parts; You covered me in my mothers womb.14 I will give thanks unto You, for I am awesomely and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and my soul knows it very well.
2 Rescue my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips and 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 profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
37 Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.
28 And do not fear those who kill the body but are not able to kill the soul. But rather fear Him who has power to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.
29 But from there you will seek Jehovah your God, and you shall find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
5 But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the Law which Moses the servant of Jehovah has charged you, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to cleave unto Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
14 Behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth. And you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which Jehovah your God has spoken concerning you. All of them have come to pass for you; not one word of them has failed.
13 And you shall seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
16 Thus says Jehovah, Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths where the good way is, and walk in it, and you shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk in it.
24 Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
