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.
I am able ◄to cope with/to handle► every situation because Christ gives me the strength to do that.
Moreover, God, whom I serve, has an unlimited supply of everything that we(inc) need. And as a result, because of your relationship with Christ Jesus, he will completely supply everything that you need.
I am completely confident that God, who has begun to do in you what is good, (OR, that since God has begun to do in you what is good, he) will continue to do that until he finishes doing it on the day Christ Jesus [MTY] returns.
So ◄I will tell you what we must conclude from all these things that God does for us./what shall we conclude from all these things that God does for us?► [RHQ] Because God is acting on our behalf, ◄no one can win against us!/can anyone defeat us? (OR, it does not matter if anyone opposes us)!► [RHQ]
nor powerful beings above the horizon or below the horizon [MTY], nor anything else that God has created can cause God to stop loving us. God showed us that he loves us by sending Jesus Christ our Lord to die for us.
Those who live under the protection of God Almighty,
will be able to rest safely under his care.
I will declare to Yahweh,
"You protect me;
you are like a fort [MET] in which I am safe.
You are my God, the one in whom I trust."
God is the one who saves me and honors me.
He is like an overhanging strong rock under which I can find shelter [MET].
But whenever I am afraid,
I trust in you.
God, I praise/thank you because you do what you have promised;
I trust in you, and then I am not afraid.
Ordinary humans certainly cannot [RHQ] harm me!
Fundamento de confiança
Deus não é homem para que minta. Todas as suas promessas são firmes. Confiar em Deus é segurança absoluta.
God is not a human being.
Humans lie, but God never lies.
He never changes his mind/thoughts, as humans do.
Whatever he has said that he will do, he does.
Live without constantly coveting money, and be content with the things you possess, remembering what Moses wrote that God has said about supplying what you need,
I will never leave you,
I will never stop providing for you [DOU].
So we can say confidently as the Psalmist said,
Since the Lord is the one who helps me, I will not be afraid! People can do nothing to me that will deprive me of God’s blessings [RHQ].
Be sure that you tell others the same correct message that you heard from me. And as you tell it, keep trusting in Christ Jesus and keep loving others as Christ Jesus enables you to do.
You are like a son to me. So I urge also that you let God empower you spiritually as a result of Christ Jesus acting kindly toward you.
Trust in Yahweh completely,
and do not rely on what you yourself understand.
Always allow him to lead you.
If you do that, he will ◄show you the right path/direct your life►.
Trust in Yahweh completely,
and do not rely on what you yourself understand.
Always allow him to lead you.
If you do that, he will ◄show you the right path/direct your life►.
◄Request/Rely on► Yahweh to direct what you plan to do;
if you do that, you will succeed in what you plan.
Those who heed good teaching/instruction will prosper;
happy are those who trust in Yahweh.
It is like a dangerous trap [MET] for people to be ◄afraid of/worried about► what others will think about them,
but those who trust in Yahweh are safe/protected.
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.
Be constantly wanting the blessings that God has prepared for you in heaven [MTY]. Do not be constantly wanting to do the evil deeds that people on earth do [MTY],
Jesus exclaimed to him, "Do not say [RHQ] ‘If you can’, for God/I can do anything for people who believe in him/me!"
But Jesus said, "It is impossible for people to save themselves. But God can save them, because God can do anything!"
Look at the birds. They do not plant seeds, and they do not harvest crops and gather them into barns. But they always have food to eat because God, your Father who is in heaven, provides food for them. And you are certainly worth a lot more than birds [RHQ]! So you can be assured that God will supply what you need!
I have told you these things in order that you may have inner peace because of your relationship with me. In this world you will have trouble. But be courageous! I have defeated those who are opposed to me [MTY], and you can defeat them, too!"
But I am pleased with those who trust in me, Yahweh,
and who confidently expect me to take care of them.
Those people are like [SIM] fruit trees that have been planted along a riverbank,
trees that have roots that go down into the wet ground beside the water.
They are trees whose leaves remain green when it becomes hot,
trees that continue to bear fruit when there are many months in which there is no rain.
When you experience dangerous situations,
and you feel like [MET] you are crossing deep rivers,
I will be with you.
When you have very big troubles/difficulties,
you will [LIT] be able to endure them.
When people try to kill you like they tried to kill Daniel’s three friends by throwing them in a fire,
you will not die, just like Daniel’s three friends were not burned up,
Because we have a close relationship with him, we are very confident that he hears us when we ask him to do anything that is in accordance with ◄his will/what he desires►.
Because we have a close relationship with him, we are very confident that he hears us when we ask him to do anything that is in accordance with ◄his will/what he desires►.
We have experienced how God loves us and we believe that he loves us. As a result, we love others. Because God’s nature is to love people, those who continue to love others have a close relationship with God, and God has a close relationship with them.
Dear friends, many people who have a false message are teaching it to people [MTY]. So do not trust every message that someone claims/says that God’s Spirit [MTY] gave to him. Instead, ◄test/think carefully about► the teachings that you hear in order to know whether they are from God or not.
Esperar com confiança
O Senhor está perto de todos os que o invocam. Na espera confiante encontramos descanso e direção divina.
Yahweh ◄comes near to/is ready to help► all those who call out to him,
to those who call to him sincerely.
Every morning cause me to remember that you faithfully love me,
because I trust in you.
I ◄pray/send my prayers up [IDM]► to you;
show me what I should do.
He will not allow us to fall/stumble;
God, who protects us, will not fall asleep.
Trust in Yahweh, and do what is good;
if you do that, you will live safely in the land that he has given you,
and you will live peacefully [MET].
You have stored up many blessings for those who revere you.
You do those good things for those who go to you to be protected;
everyone sees you doing that.
You are in heaven and I belong to you [RHQ],
and there is nothing on this earth that I desire more than that.
Keep on enduring difficulties bravely/patiently by trusting God more and more firmly [PRS], in order that you may become all that he intends you to be [DOU] (OR, spiritually mature and complete), not lacking ◄any good quality/anything you need to conduct your lives as God wants you to►.
But when you ask God, you should firmly trust him. You should not doubt that he wants to help you always, because people who keep doubting God are unstable/changeable [SIM] like a wave of the sea that is blown back and forth by the wind {that goes back and forth when the wind blows} [DOU, SIM].
While we (exc) live here, we do not have our new bodies, but we are trusting that God will give them to us.
