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.
1 O thou that dwellest in the covert of the Most High, and abidest in the shadow of the Almighty;2 I will say of the LORD, who is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust,
7 Upon God resteth my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
3 In the day that I am afraid, I will put my trust in Thee.
4 In God--I will praise His word--in God do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can flesh do unto me?
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, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: when He hath said, will He not do it? or when He hath spoken, will He not make it good?
5 Trust in the LORD with all thy heart, and lean not upon thine own understanding.6 In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct thy paths.
5 Trust in the LORD with all thy heart, and lean not upon thine own understanding.6 In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct thy paths.
3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
20 He that giveth heed unto the word shall find good; and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.
25 The fear of man bringeth a snare; but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be set up 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.
7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose trust the LORD is.8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out its roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but its foliage shall be luxuriant; and shall not be anxious in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
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 nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth.
8 Cause me to hear Thy lovingkindness in the morning, for in Thee do I trust; cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for unto Thee have I lifted up my soul.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; He that keepeth thee will not slumber.
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and cherish faithfulness.
19 Oh how abundant is Thy goodness, which Thou hast laid up for them that fear Thee; which Thou hast wrought for them that take their refuge in Thee, in the sight of the sons of men!
25 Whom have I in heaven but Thee? And beside Thee I desire none upon earth.
