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 strengthening me.
19 And my God shall supply all your need, according to his riches in glory through Christ Jesus.
6 Being persuaded of this very thing, that he who hath begun a good work in you, will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ,
31 What shall we say then to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
39 nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, 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 disposition be without covetousness: be content with the things that are present; for he hath said , No, I will not leave thee: verily I will not forsake thee.
6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper; I will not fear what man can do unto me.
13 Hold fast the pattern of sound words, which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong through the grace which is by Jesus Christ.
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 affections on the things above, not the things on the earth.
23 Jesus saith to him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
27 And he said, The things impossible with men, are possible with God.
26 Behold the birds of the air: they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.
33 I have spoken these things to you, that ye may have peace in me. In the world ye shall have tribulation; but take courage: I have overcome the world.
14 And this is the confidence which we have in him, that if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us.
14 And this is the confidence which we have in him, that if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us.
16 And we know and believe the love that God hath to us. God is love, and he that abideth in love, abideth in God, and God in him.
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets are 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 that ye may be perfect and intire, wanting nothing.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like a wave of the sea, driven with the wind and tossed.
7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight.)
