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.
In the same way the heavens are higher than the earth, my ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
What trouble people face when they fight with their Creator—they're just pots among all the other pots on earth! Does the clay tell the potter who is shaping it, "What are you doing?" or "What you're making is so bad it's like you have no hands!"
Don't you know? Haven't you heard? The Lord is the eternal God, the Creator of the whole earth. He's never weak or tired; you can't find out all he knows.
The Lord is great and deserves much praise! His greatness cannot be measured!
Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the universe, from eternity past to eternity future, you are God.
In your eyes, a thousand years are like a day that's already gone; like a few passing hours of the night.
Oh how deep are God's riches, wisdom, and knowledge! How incredible his decisions, how unimaginable his methods!
Buscar entendimento
Clama a mim e responder-te-ei. A sabedoria é a coisa principal — busque o entendimento com todo o coração.
Call out to me, and I will answer you, explaining to you amazing, hidden things about which you don't have any idea.
The first thing in becoming wise is to get wisdom! Whatever else you gain, gain insight.
If you're slow to get angry, you're very wise; but if you have a short fuse you glorify stupidity.
Human beings make many plans in their minds, but the final decision is the Lord's.
People think that whatever they do is fine, but the Lord looks at their motives.
I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of wisdom to see and know him as he really is.
May you grow in the grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May he have glory, both 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.
Studying your words brings light so that even the uneducated can understand.
"I will instruct you, teaching you the way to follow. I will advise you, watching out for you.
Just as you don't know how the breath of life comes to the child in its mother's womb, so you can't understand the work of God, the Creator of everything.
"I tell you the truth," Jesus replied, "Unless you are reborn, you can't experience God's kingdom."
Jesus looked at them and said, "From a human point of view it's impossible, but all things are possible with God."
Jesus sat down and called the twelve disciples together. "If anyone wants to be first, he has to be the very last, the servant of everyone else," he told them.
There's no longer Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female—you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's children, and you are heirs of the promise!
make sure to check everything. Hold on to whatever is good; keep away from every kind of evil.
Even though we live in this world, we don't fight as the world does.
We don't concern ourselves with what can be seen, for we look forward to what can't be seen. What we see is temporary, but what we can't see is eternal.
Nobody should say when they're tempted, "I'm being tempted by God." For God is not tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone.
