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 can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
19 And my God will supply all your need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
6 having been persuaded of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus;
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who [can be] against us?
39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in creation, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Fundamento de confiança
Deus não é homem para que minta. Todas as suas promessas são firmes. Confiar em Deus é segurança absoluta.
5 Let [your] way of life [be] without loving money, being satisfied with what you have. For He Himself has said, "By no means shall I desert you, nor in any way shall I forsake you;"
6 so that being confident, we may say: "The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?"
13 Hold to the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.
1 You therefore, my child, be empowered by the grace which is in Christ Jesus.
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 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.
23 Jesus said to him, "If you are able to believe: all things are possible to him that believes."
27 But He said, "These things which are impossible with men are possible with God."
26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap, nor do they gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth more than they?
33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but have courage, I have overcome the world."
14 And this is the confidence that we have toward Him, that if we should ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
14 And this is the confidence that we have toward Him, that if we should ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
16 And we have come to know and believe the love which God has in us. God is love, and he that abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are from God; because many 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.
4 But let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.
6 But let him ask in faith, doubting nothing, for he that doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
