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 are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
"Woe to him who strives with him who formed him,
a pot among earthen pots!
Does the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’
or ‘Your work has no handles’?
Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
his understanding is unsearchable.
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
and his greatness is unsearchable.
Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
For a thousand years in your sight
are but as yesterday when it is past,
or as a watch in the night.
Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable 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 you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.
The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom,
and whatever you get, get insight.
Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding,
but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.
Many are the plans in the mind of a man,
but it is the purpose of the Lordthat will stand.
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,
but the Lordweighs the heart.
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the 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 imparts understanding to the simple.
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
As you do not know the way the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.
Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born againhe cannot see the kingdom of God."
But Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

but test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.
For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh.
as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.
