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.
As high as the heavens are above the earth,
so high are my ways and thoughts above yours.
Does a clay pot dare argue with its maker,
a pot that is like all the others?
Does the clay ask the potter what he is doing?
Does the pot complain that its maker has no skill?
Don’t you know? Haven’t you heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God;
he created all the world.
He never grows tired or weary.
No one understands his thoughts.
The Lord is great and is to be highly praised;
his greatness is beyond understanding.
Before you created the hills
or brought the world into being,
you were eternally God,
and will be God forever.
A thousand years to you are like one day;
they are like yesterday, already gone,
like a short hour in the night.
How great are God’s riches! How deep are his wisdom and knowledge! Who can explain his decisions? Who can understand 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; I will tell you wonderful and marvelous things that you know nothing about.
Getting wisdom is the most important thing you can do. Whatever else you get, get insight.
If you stay calm, you are wise, but if you have a hot temper, you only show how stupid you are.
People may plan all kinds of things, but the Lord's will is going to be done.
You may think that everything you do is right, but remember that the Lord judges your motives.
and ask the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, to give you the Spirit, who will make you wise and reveal God to you, so that you will know him.
But continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory, 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.
The explanation of your teachings gives light
and brings wisdom to the ignorant.
The Lord says, "I will teach you the way you should go;
I will instruct you and advise you.
God made everything, and you can no more understand what he does than you understand how new life begins in the womb of a pregnant woman.
Jesus answered, "I am telling you the truth: no one can see the Kingdom of God without being born again."
Jesus looked straight at them and answered, "This is impossible for human beings, but for God everything is possible."
Jesus sat down, called the twelve disciples, and said to them, "Whoever wants to be first must place himself last of all and be the servant of all."
So there is no difference between Jews and Gentiles, between slaves and free people, between men and women; you are all one in union with Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are the descendants of Abraham and will receive what God has promised.
Put all things to the test: keep what is good and avoid every kind of evil.
It is true that we live in the world, but we do not fight from worldly motives.
For we fix our attention, not on things that are seen, but on things that are unseen. What can be seen lasts only for a time, but what cannot be seen lasts forever.
If we are tempted by such trials, we must not say, "This temptation comes from God." For God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
