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 remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
1 A Poem by David.Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.
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 Ascents. By Solomon.Unless the Lord builds the house,they labor in vain who build it.Unless the Lord watches over the city,the watchman guards it in vain.
3 For they did not get the land in possession by their own sword,neither did their own arm save them;but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face,because you were favorable to them.
14 The Lord will fight for you, and you 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 your heart,and do not lean on your own understanding.6 In all your ways acknowledge him,and he will make your paths straight.
9 A man's heart plans his course,but the Lord directs his steps.
21 There are many plans in a man's heart,but the Lord's counsel will prevail.
22 The Lord's blessing brings wealth,and he adds no trouble to it.
26 My flesh and my heart fails,but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
19 Turn us again, Lord God of Hosts.Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
1 A Song of Ascents.I will lift up my eyes to the hills.Where does 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 is slipping!"Your loving kindness, Lord, held me up.
5 Out of my distress, I called on Yah.Yah answered me with freedom.
1 A Psalm by David.The Lord is my shepherd:I shall lack nothing.2 He makes me lie down in green pastures.He leads me beside 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 to lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.
13 For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand,saying to you, 'Do not be afraid.I will help you.'
29 He gives power to the weak.He increases the strength of him who has no might.
16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Do not be arrogant, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own conceits.
4 For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members do not have the same function,5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
34 Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
14 But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you.
