Guardar o coração
Guardar o coração é o mandamento mais urgente de Provérbios. Sobre tudo o que se deve guardar, guarda o teu coração, porque dele procedem as fontes da vida.
Sobre tudo, guarda o coração
O coração é a nascente de tudo — pensamentos, desejos, decisões. Guardá-lo é proteger toda a vida espiritual e emocional.
45 "The good man out of the good treasure-house of his heart brings forth good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure-house of his heart brings forth evil; for the mouth speaks out of the abundance of the heart.
Coração puro e renovado
Cria em mim um coração puro, ó Deus. Os puros de coração verão a Deus — e o Espírito renova nosso interior.
8 "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Guardar com a Palavra
Não vos conformeis com este mundo. A Palavra de Deus guardada no coração nos protege do pecado e nos direciona.
2 And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Vigilância e paz
A paz de Deus guarda nossos corações em Cristo Jesus. Chegai-vos a Deus, purificai os corações — e Ele estará convosco.
6 Do not worry about anything; but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;7 and the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will stand guard over your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
8 Draw near to God And he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, And purify your hearts, you double-minded.
8 So you also must be patient. Stablish your hearts; for the coming of the Lord is at hand!
1 If you then are risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ abides, seated on the right hand of God.
