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.
"Foras 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 his Maker!
Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth!
Shall the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’
Or shall your handiwork say, ‘He has no hands’?
Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the Lord,
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is 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,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
For a thousand years in Your sight
Are like yesterday when it is past,
And like a watch in the night.
Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!
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 show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’
Wisdom is the principal thing;
Therefore get wisdom.
And in all your getting, get understanding.
Hewhois slow to wrath has great understanding,
But hewhois impulsive exalts folly.
There are many plans in a man’s heart,
Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel—that will stand.
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,
But the Lord weighs the hearts.
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and 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 forever. Amen.
Iluminação divina
A entrada da tua Palavra dá luz e entendimento. Deus revela verdades ocultas e transforma nossa visão da realidade.
The entrance of Your words gives light;
It gives understanding to the simple.
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will guide you with My eye.
As you do not know what is the way of the wind,
Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child,
So you do not know the works of God who makes everything.
Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
But Jesus looked at them and said to them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, "If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all."
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.
while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.
