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, you [are] the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
1 A Secret Treasure of David. Watch over me, O God; for in You do I put my trust.
8 I have set the LORD always before Me; because [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 labor in vain who build it; unless the LORD keeps the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
3 For they did not get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but [it was] Your right hand, and Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored them.
14 The LORD shall fight for you, and you shall be silent.
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 your heart, and lean not to your own understanding.6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
9 A man's heart plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps.
21 [There are] many purposes in a man's heart, but the counsel of the LORD shall stand.
22 The blessing of the LORD itself makes rich, and He adds no sorrow with it.
26 My flesh and my heart fail; [but] God [is] the strength of my heart, and my part forever.
19 Turn us again, O LORD God of Hosts; cause Your face to shine, and we shall be saved.
1 A Song of degrees. I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where shall my help come from?2 My help [comes] from the LORD, who made Heaven and earth.
3 He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.
18 When I said, My foot slips; Your mercy, O LORD, held me up.
5 I called on the LORD in distress; the LORD answered me, and [set me] in a large 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 according to need, for I have learned to be content in whatever state I am.
13 For I, Jehovah your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, Do not fear; I will help you.
29 [He] gives power to the weary; and to him with no vigor; He increases strength.
16 minding the same thing toward one another, not minding high things, but yielding to the lowly. Do not be wise within yourselves.
4 For even as we have many members in one body, and all members do not have the same function,5 so we the many are one body in Christ, and each one members of one another.
8 So then they who are in the flesh cannot please God.
34 Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow; for tomorrow shall be anxious for its own things. Sufficient to the day [is] the evil of it.
14 But who [am] I, and who my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? For all things [are] from You, and we have given to You that which is Yours.
