Compreensão
A verdadeira compreensão vem de Deus. Os caminhos do Senhor são mais altos que os nossos. Mas Ele nos convida a buscar entendimento — e promete iluminar quem o busca de coração.
A sabedoria de Deus
Os meus pensamentos não são os vossos pensamentos. A incompreensibilidade de Deus nos leva à humildade e adoração.
"For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so My ways are higher than your ways
and My thoughts than your thoughts.
Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker—
one clay pot among many.
Does the clay ask the potter,
‘What are you making?’
Does your work say,
‘He has no hands’?
Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary;
His understanding is beyond searching out.
Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised;
His greatness is unsearchable.
Before the mountains were born
or You brought forth the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting
You are God.
For in Your sight a thousand years
are but a day that passes,
or a watch of the night.
O, the depth of the riches
of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable are His judgments,
and untraceable His ways!
Buscar entendimento
Clama a mim e responder-te-ei. A sabedoria é a coisa principal — busque o entendimento com todo o coração.
Call to Me, and I will answer and show you great and unsearchable things you do not know.
Wisdom is supreme; so acquire wisdom.
And whatever you may acquire, gain understanding.
A patient man has great understanding,
but a quick-tempered man promotes folly.
Many plans are in a man’s heart,
but the purpose of the LORD will prevail.
All a man’s ways seem right to him,
but the LORD weighs the heart.
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in your knowledge of Him.
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity.
Amen.
Iluminação divina
A entrada da tua Palavra dá luz e entendimento. Deus revela verdades ocultas e transforma nossa visão da realidade.
The unfolding of Your words gives light;
it informs the simple.
I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go;
I will give you counsel and watch over you.
As you do not know the path of the wind,
or how the bones are formed in a mother’s womb,
so you cannot understand the work of God,
the Maker of all things.
Jesus replied, "Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."
Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be the last of all and the servant of all."
There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.
but test all things. Hold fast to what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.
For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh.
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone.
