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.
31 What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who is against us?
13 I can do all things through him who gives me strength.
7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and self-control.
Esperança e perseverança
A tribulação produz perseverança, a perseverança produz caráter, e o caráter produz esperança que não decepciona.
3 Not only so, but we also exult in trials, knowing that trial develops endurance,4 and endurance develops a tested character, and a tested character develops hope,5 and hope does not disappoint, for the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit granted to us.
35 Do not, then, cast away your confidence, for it will have a great reward.
10 Do not fear what you are soon to suffer. The Devil will soon cast some of you into prison so that you may be tested, and you will have distress ten days. Be faithful to death and I will give you the crown of life.
33 I have spoken these things to you that in me you may have peace. In the world you have distress. But he courageous. I have conquered the world."
16 Therefore we are not downhearted, but even if our outward man is wasting away, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.17 For our momentary and light distress is working out for us a far surpassing and eternal weight of glory18 while we contemplate not the things that are seen, but the things unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things unseen are eternal.
23 Jesus said, " 'If you can'! All things are possible for one who believes."
Deus cuida de nós
Entrega o teu caminho ao Senhor. Lança sobre Ele as tuas ansiedades, porque Ele tem cuidado de nós diariamente.
Futuro e promessas
Eu sei os planos que tenho para vocês — planos de paz e não de mal, para dar-lhes futuro e esperança.
26 Jesus looked at them and said, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
9 But as it is written, "What eye has not seen and what ear has not heard and what has not entered human mind, God has prepared for those who love him."
