Confiança
A confiança em Deus é âncora da alma em tempos de tempestade. Quem confia no Senhor não será abalado — porque o Deus fiel sustenta, protege e guia os que nele esperam.
Confiança inabalável
Tudo posso naquele que me fortalece. O meu Deus suprirá toda necessidade. Quem confia não será confundido.
13 I am able to do all things through him who gives me strength.
19 And my God will give you all you have need of from the wealth of his glory in Christ Jesus.
6 For I am certain of this very thing, that he by whom the good work was started in you will make it complete till the day of Jesus Christ:
31 What may we say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
39 Or things on high, or things under the earth, or anything which is made, will be able to come between us and the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
1 Happy is he whose resting-place is in the secret of the Lord, and under the shade of the wings of the Most High;2 Who says of the Lord, He is my safe place and my tower of strength: he is my God, in whom is my hope.
7 \62:6\He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.
3 \56:2\My haters are ever ready to put an end to me; great numbers are lifting themselves up against me.
4 \56:3\In the time of my fear, I will have faith in you.
Fundamento de confiança
Deus não é homem para que minta. Todas as suas promessas são firmes. Confiar em Deus é segurança absoluta.
19 God is not a man, to say what is false; or the son of man, that his purpose may be changed: what he has said, will he not do? and will he not give effect to the words of his mouth?
5 Be free from the love of money and pleased with the things which you have; for he himself has said, I will be with you at all times.
6 So that we say with a good heart, The Lord is my helper; I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me?
13 Keep the form of those true words which you had from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
1 So then, my child, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus.
5 Put all your hope in God, not looking to your reason for support.6 In all your ways give ear to him, and he will make straight your footsteps.
5 Put all your hope in God, not looking to your reason for support.6 In all your ways give ear to him, and he will make straight your footsteps.
3 Put your works into the hands of the Lord, and your purposes will be made certain.
20 He who gives attention to the law of right will get good; and whoever puts his faith in the Lord is happy.
25 The fear of man is a cause of danger: but whoever puts his faith in the Lord will have a safe place on high.
Confiar em todas as coisas
Não pertenço ao mundo — minha cidadania é do céu. A confiança cristã repousa na fidelidade de Deus, não nas circunstâncias.
2 Keep your mind on the higher things, not on the things of earth.
23 And Jesus said to him, If you are able! All things are possible to him who has faith.
27 But he said, Things which are not possible with man are possible with God.
26 See the birds of heaven; they do not put seeds in the earth, they do not get in grain, or put it in store-houses; and your Father in heaven gives them food. Are you not of much more value than they?
33 I have said all these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble: but take heart! I have overcome the world.
7 A blessing is on the man who puts his faith in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.8 For he will be like a tree planted by the waters, pushing out its roots by the stream; he will have no fear when the heat comes, but his leaf will be green; in a dry year he will have no care, and will go on giving fruit.
2 When you go through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not go over you: when you go through the fire, you will not be burned; and the flame will have no power over you.
14 And we are certain that if we make any request to him which is right in his eyes, he will give ear to us:
14 And we are certain that if we make any request to him which is right in his eyes, he will give ear to us:
16 And we have seen and had faith in the love which God has for us. God is love, and everyone who has love is in God, and God is in him.
1 My loved ones, do not put your faith in every spirit, but put them to the test, to see if they are from God: because a great number of false prophets have gone out into the world.
Esperar com confiança
O Senhor está perto de todos os que o invocam. Na espera confiante encontramos descanso e direção divina.
18 The Lord is near all those who give honour to his name; even to all who give honour to him with true hearts.
8 Let the story of your mercy come to me in the morning, for my hope is in you: give me knowledge of the way in which I am to go; for my soul is lifted up to you.
3 May he not let your foot be moved: no need of sleep has he who keeps you.
3 Have faith in the Lord, and do good; be at rest in the land, and go after righteousness.
19 \31:18\Let the false lips be shut, which say evil against the upright, looking down on him in their pride.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you? and having you I have no desire for anything on earth.
4 But let this power have its full effect, so that you may be made complete, needing nothing.
6 Let him make his request in faith, doubting nothing; for he who has doubt in his heart is like the waves of the sea, which are troubled by the driving of the wind.
