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.

The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth
Does not become weary or tired.
His understanding is unsearchable.
Great is the Lord, and highly to be praised;
And His greatness is unsearchable.
Before the mountains were born
Or You gave birth to the earth and the world,
