Dependência
A dependência de Deus é o caminho da verdadeira liberdade. Sem Cristo, nada podemos fazer. Mas em Deus encontramos sustento, direção e força para todo desafio.
Sem Ele nada podemos
Sem mim nada podeis fazer. O cristão que se desconecta da videira seca — mas o que permanece dá muito fruto.
5 I AM the vine, ye [are] the branches: he that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing.
1 Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for in thee I have put my trust.
8 I have set the LORD always before me: because [when he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
1 A Song of degrees for Solomon. Unless the LORD builds the house, they labour in vain that build it; unless the LORD keeps the city, the watchmen watch in vain.
3 For they did not get the land in inheritance by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them, but thy right hand and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance because thy delight was in them.
14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall be still.
Depender do Senhor
Confia no Senhor de todo o coração e não te estribes no teu próprio entendimento. Em todos os caminhos o reconhece.
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding.6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
9 The heart of man devises his way, but the LORD directs his steps.
21 [There are] many thoughts in the heart of man; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD shall stand.
22 The blessing of the LORD is that which makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.
26 My flesh and my heart fail; the strength of my heart [is] that God is my portion for ever.
19 Turn us again, O LORD God of the hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.:
1 A Song of degrees. I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains, from whence cometh my help.2 My help [comes] from the LORD, who made the heavens and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; he that keeps thee will not slumber.
18 When I said, My foot slips, thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.
5 From a tight place I called upon JAH; and JAH answered me [and set me] in a wide place.
1 A Psalm of David. The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want.2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside the still waters.
Contentamento e confiança
Aprendi a viver contente em toda situação. A dependência de Deus nos livra da ansiedade e nos firma na paz.
11 Not that I speak in respect of want, for I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content.
13 For I [am] the LORD thy God that holds thy right hand saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
29 He gives power to the faint; and to [those that have] no might he increases strength.
16 [Be] unanimous among yourselves, not high minded, but accommodating the humble. Do not be wise in your [own] opinion.
4 For in the manner that we have many members in one body, nevertheless all the members do not have the same operation;5 likewise many of us are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
8 So then, those that are carnal cannot please God.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day [is] the affliction thereof.:
14 But who [am] I, and what [is] my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? For all things [come] of thee and of thine own have we given thee.
