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 abideth in me and, I, in him, the same, beareth much fruit; because, apart from me, ye can bring forth, nothing.
1 Preserve me, O GOD, for I have sought refuge in thee.
8 I have set Yahweh before me continually, because he is on my right hand, I shall not be shaken!
1 If, Yahweh, build not the house, in vain, have the builders of it toiled thereon, If, Yahweh, watch not the city, in vain, hath the watchman kept awake:
3 For, not by their own sword, gat they possession of the land, Nor did, their own arm, win victory for them,But thine own right hand, and thine own arm, and the light of thy face, Because thou hadst accepted them.
14 Yahweh, will fight for you,and, ye, shall forbear.
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 thou in Yahweh, with all thy heart, and, unto thine own understanding, do not lean:6 In all thy ways, acknowledge him, and, he, will make straight thy paths.
9 A mans heart, deviseth his way, but, Yahweh, directeth his steps.
21 Many are the devices in a mans heart, but, the counsel of Yahweh, that, shall stand.
22 The blessing of Yahweh, itself maketh rich, and he addeth no grievance therewith.
26 Failed have my flesh and my heart, The rock of my heartand my portion, is God unto times age-abiding.
19 O Yahweh, God of hosts! bring us back, Light up thy face, That we may be saved.
1 I will lift up mine eyes, unto the mountains, From whence cometh my help!2 My help, is from Yahweh, who made heavens and earth.
3 May he not suffer thy foot, to slip, May thy keeper, not slumber!
18 If I say, My foot, hath slipped, Thy lovingkindness, O Yahweh, supporteth me.
5 Out of a strait, called I on Yah, He answered me with enlargement.
1 Yahweh, is my shepherdI shall not want:2 In pastures of tender grass, he maketh me lie down, Unto restful waters, he leadeth me;
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, as to coming short, I am speaking, for, I, have learned, in whatsoever circumstances I am, to be, independent:
13 For I, Yahweh thy God am firmly grasping thy right-hand,Who am saying unto thee Do not fear! I, have become thy helper!
29 Giving to him that fainteth, strength, And to him that hath no vigour, he causeth, power to abound?
16 The same thing, one to another regarding,not the lofty things regarding, but, by the lowly, being led along. Be not getting presumptuous in your own opinion:
4 For, just as in one body we have many members, yet, all the members, have not the same office,5 So, we, the many, are one body in Christ, yet, severally, members one of another.
8 They, moreover, who in flesh have their being, cannot please, God.
34 Do not, then, be anxious for the morrow; for the morrow, will be anxious, for itself: Sufficient for the day, is the evil thereof.
14 And yet, who am, I, and who are my people, that we should be able to offer willingly like this? for, from thee, is the whole, and, out of thine own hand, have we given unto thee;
