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 shall we say then to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
13 I can do all things through Christ strengthening me.
7 For God hath not given us the Spirit of fear, but of power, and love, and sobriety.
Esperança e perseverança
A tribulação produz perseverança, a perseverança produz caráter, e o caráter produz esperança que não decepciona.
3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also,4 knowing that tribulation worketh patience, And patience experience, and experience hope;5 And hope shameth us not, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
10 Fear none of those things which thou art about to suffer: behold the devil is about to cast some of you into prison that ye may be tried, and ye shall have affliction ten days: Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of life.
33 I have spoken these things to you, that ye may have peace in me. In the world ye shall have tribulation; but take courage: I have overcome the world.
16 Therefore we faint not, but even though the outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh out for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory:18 While we aim not at the things that are seen, but the things that are not seen: for the things that are seen are temporal, but the things that are not seen are eternal.
23 Jesus saith to him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
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 But Oesus looking upon them, said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor hath ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.
