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.
Just as the heavens
are higher than the earth,
my thoughts and my ways
are higher than yours.
Israel, you have no right
to argue with your Creator.
You are merely a clay pot
shaped by a potter.
The clay doesn’t ask,
"Why did you make me this way?
Where are the handles?"
Don’t you know?
Haven’t you heard?
The Lord is the eternal God,
Creator of the earth.
He never gets weary or tired;
his wisdom cannot be measured.
You are wonderful, Lord,
and you deserve all praise,
because you are much greater
than anyone can understand.
You have always been God—
long before the birth
of the mountains,
even before you created
the earth and the world.
but a thousand years
mean nothing to you!
They are merely a day gone by
or a few hours in the night.
Who can measure the wealth and wisdom and knowledge of God? Who can understand his decisions or explain what he does?
Buscar entendimento
Clama a mim e responder-te-ei. A sabedoria é a coisa principal — busque o entendimento com todo o coração.
Ask me, and I will tell you things that you don’t know and can’t find out.
The best thing about Wisdom
is Wisdom herself;
good sense is more important
than anything else.
It’s smart to be patient,
but it’s stupid
to lose your temper.
We may make a lot of plans,
but the Lord will do
what he has decided.
We may think we are doing
the right thing,
but the Lord always knows
what is in our hearts.
I ask the glorious Father and God of our Lord Jesus Christ to give you his Spirit. The Spirit will make you wise and let you understand what it means to know God.
Let the gift of undeserved grace and the understanding that come from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ help you keep on growing. Praise Jesus now and forever! Amen.
Iluminação divina
A entrada da tua Palavra dá luz e entendimento. Deus revela verdades ocultas e transforma nossa visão da realidade.
Understanding your word
brings light to the minds
of ordinary people.
You said to me,
"I will point out the road
that you should follow.
I will be your teacher
and watch over you.
No one can explain how a baby breathes before it is born. So how can anyone explain what God does? After all, God created everything.
Jesus replied, "I tell you for certain that you must be born from above before you can see God’s kingdom!"
Jesus looked straight at them and said, "There are some things people cannot do, but God can do anything."
After Jesus sat down and told the twelve disciples to gather around him, he said, "If you want the place of honor, you must become a slave and serve others!"
Faith in Christ Jesus is what makes each of you equal with each other, whether you are a Jew or a Greek, a slave or a free person, a man or a woman. So if you belong to Christ, you are now part of Abraham’s family, and you will be given what God has promised.
Put everything to the test. Accept what is good and don’t have anything to do with evil.
We live in this world, but we don’t act like its people
Things that are seen don’t last forever, but things that are not seen are eternal. This is why we keep our minds on the things that cannot be seen.
Don’t blame God when you are tempted! God cannot be tempted by evil, and he doesn’t use evil to tempt others.
