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.
I am the vine, ye be the branches. Who [or He] that dwelleth in me, and I in him, this beareth much fruit, for without me ye may nothing do.
Of the meek and simple, the psalm of David. Lord, keep thou me, for I have hoped in thee;
I saw before me ever[more] the Lord in my sight; for he is at the right half to me, that I be not moved.
The song of degrees of Solomon. No but or But if the Lord build the house; they that built it have travailed in vain. No but or But if the Lord keepeth the city; he waketh in vain that keepeth it.
For the children of Israel wielded the land not by their sword; and the arm of them saved not them. But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the lightening of thy cheer; for thou were pleased in them.
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.
Have thou trust in the Lord, of all thine heart; and lean thou not to thy prudence.
In all thy ways think on him, and he shall dress thy goings.
The heart of a man shall dispose his way; but it pertaineth to the Lord to dress his steps.
Many thoughts there be in the heart of a man; but the will of the Lord shall dwell.
The blessing of the Lord maketh rich men; and torment shall not be fellowshipped to them.
My flesh and mine heart failed; God of mine heart, and my part is God without end.
Lord God of virtues, turn thou us; and show thy face, and we shall be safe.
The song of degrees. I raised mine eyes to the hills; from whence help shall come to me.
Mine help is of the Lord; that made heaven and earth.
The Lord give not thy foot into moving; neither he nap, that keepeth thee.
If I said, My foot was stirred; Lord, thy mercy helped me.
Out Of tribulation I inwardly called the Lord; and the Lord heard me in largeness.
The psalm of David. The Lord governeth me, and nothing shall fail to me;
in the place of pasture there he hath set me. He nourished me on the water of refreshing;
Contentamento e confiança
Aprendi a viver contente em toda situação. A dependência de Deus nos livra da ansiedade e nos firma na paz.
I say not as for need, for I have learned to be sufficient in which things I am.
For I am thy Lord God, taking thine hand, and saying to thee, Dread thou not, I helped thee.
That giveth strength to the weary, and strength to them that be not, and multiplieth stalworth[y] ness.
Feel ye the same thing together; not understanding, [or savouring, or cunning], high things, but consenting to meek things, [following meek fathers]. Do not ye be prudent with yourselves;
For as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same deed [or the same act];
so we many be one body in Christ, and each be members one of another.
And they that be in flesh, may not please to God.
Therefore do not ye be busy into the morrow, for the morrow shall be busy to itself; for it sufficeth to the day his own malice.
Who am I, and who is my people, that we may promise all these things to thee? All things be thine, and we have given to thee those things, which we have taken of thine hand.
