Incentivo
A Bíblia é fonte inesgotável de incentivo. Em cada página, Deus nos encoraja a não temer, a perseverar e a confiar que Ele está conosco e é maior que qualquer adversidade.
Deus é por nós
Se Deus é por nós, quem será contra nós? O Senhor fortalece, sustenta e guia seus filhos em cada batalha e desafio.
What can we say about all this? If God is on our side, can anyone be against us?
Don’t be afraid. I am with you.
Don’t tremble with fear.
I am your God.
I will make you strong,
as I protect you with my arm
and give you victories.
But those who trust the Lord
will find new strength.
They will be strong like eagles
soaring upward on wings;
they will walk and run
without getting tired.
Christ gives me the strength to face anything.
Be brave and strong! Don’t be afraid of the nations on the other side of the Jordan. The Lord your God will always be at your side, and he will never abandon you.
God’s Spirit doesn’t make cowards out of us. The Spirit gives us power, love, and self-control.
Esperança e perseverança
A tribulação produz perseverança, a perseverança produz caráter, e o caráter produz esperança que não decepciona.
But that’s not all! We gladly suffer, because we know that suffering helps us to endure. And endurance builds character, which gives us a hope that will never disappoint us. All of this happens because God has given us the Holy Spirit, who fills our hearts with his love.
Keep on being brave! It will bring you great rewards.
Don’t worry about what you will suffer. The devil will throw some of you into jail, and you will be tested and made to suffer for ten days. But if you are faithful until you die, I will reward you with a glorious life.
I have told you this, so that you might have peace in your hearts because of me. While you are in the world, you will have to suffer. But cheer up! I have defeated the world.
We never give up. Our bodies are gradually dying, but we ourselves are being made stronger each day. These little troubles are getting us ready for an eternal glory that will make all our troubles seem like nothing. Things that are seen don’t last forever, but things that are not seen are eternal. This is why we keep our minds on the things that cannot be seen.
Jesus replied, "Why do you say ‘if you can’? Anything is possible for someone who has faith!"
Deus cuida de nós
Entrega o teu caminho ao Senhor. Lança sobre Ele as tuas ansiedades, porque Ele tem cuidado de nós diariamente.
Let the Lord lead you
and trust him to help.
If you do what the Lord wants,
he will make certain
each step you take is sure.
The Lord will hold your hand,
and if you stumble,
you still won’t fall.
Our Lord, we belong to you.
We tell you what worries us,
and you won’t let us fall.
When I am in trouble, I pray,
Ten thousand enemies attack
from every side,
but I am not afraid.
Futuro e promessas
Eu sei os planos que tenho para vocês — planos de paz e não de mal, para dar-lhes futuro e esperança.
I will bless you with a future filled with hope—a future of success, not of suffering.
The Lord your God
wins victory after victory
and is always with you.
He celebrates and sings
because of you,
and he will refresh your life
with his love."
Jesus looked straight at them and said, "There are some things people cannot do, but God can do anything."
But it is just as the Scriptures say,
"What God has planned
for people who love him
is more than eyes have seen
or ears have heard.
It has never even
entered our minds!"
but Shammah stood in the middle of the field and killed the Philistines. The crops were saved, and the Lord gave Israel a great victory.
