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 just as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so my ways are higher than your ways
and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
"What sorrow awaits those who argue with their Creator.
Does a clay pot argue with its maker?
Does the clay dispute with the one who shapes it, saying,
‘Stop, you’re doing it wrong!’
Does the pot exclaim,
‘How clumsy can you be?’
Have you never heard?
Have you never understood?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of all the earth.
He never grows weak or weary.
No one can measure the depths of his understanding.
Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise!
No one can measure his greatness.
Before the mountains were born,
before you gave birth to the earth and the world,
from beginning to end, you are God.
For you, a thousand years are as a passing day,
as brief as a few night hours.
Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!
Buscar entendimento
Clama a mim e responder-te-ei. A sabedoria é a coisa principal — busque o entendimento com todo o coração.
Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come.
Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do!
And whatever else you do, develop good judgment.
People with understanding control their anger;
a hot temper shows great foolishness.
You can make many plans,
but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.
People may be right in their own eyes,
but the Lord examines their heart.
asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God.
Rather, you must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
All glory to him, 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 teaching of your word gives light,
so even the simple can understand.
The Lord says, "I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.
I will advise you and watch over you.
Just as you cannot understand the path of the wind or the mystery of a tiny baby growing in its mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the activity of God, who does all things.
Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, unless you are born again,you cannot see the Kingdom of God."
Jesus looked at them intently and said, "Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible."
He sat down, called the twelve disciples over to him, and said, "Whoever wants to be first must take last place and be the servant of everyone else."
There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you.
but test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good. Stay away from every kind of evil.
We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do.
So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.
And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, "God is tempting me." God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else.
