Motivação
Motivação verdadeira vem de Deus. A Bíblia nos inspira a correr a carreira da fé com perseverança, sabendo que o Senhor fortalece, guia e recompensa os fiéis.
Força do alto
Tudo posso naquele que me fortalece. Deus dá poder aos fracos e renova a força dos cansados — Ele é a fonte de toda motivação.
Christ gives me the strength to face anything.
The Lord gives strength
to those who are weary.
Even young people get tired,
then stumble and fall.
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.
Celebrate and Shout
I celebrate and shout
because of my Lord God.
His saving power and justice
are the very clothes I wear.
They are more beautiful
than the jewelry worn
by a bride or groom.
God is working in you to make you willing and able to obey him.
Correr para o alvo
Prossigo para o alvo, para o prêmio da soberana vocação de Deus em Cristo Jesus. A corrida da fé exige disciplina e foco.
My friends, I don’t feel I have already arrived. But I forget what is behind, and I struggle for what is ahead. I run toward the goal, so I can win the prize of being called to heaven. This is the prize God offers because of what Christ Jesus has done.
A Race and a Fight
You know that many runners enter a race, and only one of them wins the prize. So run to win! Athletes work hard to win a crown that cannot last, but we do it for a crown that will last forever. I don’t run without a goal. And I don’t box by beating my fists in the air. I keep my body under control and make it my slave, so I won’t lose out after telling the good news to others.
A Large Crowd of Witnesses
Such a large crowd of witnesses is all around us! So we must get rid of everything that slows us down, especially the sin that just won’t let go. And we must be determined to run the race that is ahead of us. We must keep our eyes on Jesus, who leads us and makes our faith complete. He endured the shame of being nailed to a cross, because he knew later on he would be glad he did. Now he is seated at the right side of God’s throne! So keep your mind on Jesus, who put up with many insults from sinners. Then you won’t get discouraged and give up.
Do your work willingly, as though you were serving the Lord himself, and not just your earthly master.
Propósito e missão
Deus tem planos de esperança para nós. Cada dia é oportunidade de fazer a sua vontade e avançar com confiança na missão.
I will bless you with a future filled with hope—a future of success, not of suffering.
Ask me, and I will do whatever you ask. This way the Son will bring honor to the Father. I will do whatever you ask me to do.
Go to the people of all nations and make them my disciples. Baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teach them to do everything I have told you. I will be with you always, even until the end of the world.
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.
Work hard at whatever you do. You will soon go to the world of the dead, where no one works or thinks or reasons or even knows anything.
You will not be harmed,
though thousands fall
all around you.
Don’t keep worrying about having something to eat or drink. Only people who don’t know God are always worrying about such things. Your Father knows what you need.
We also gave you this rule: If you don’t work, you don’t eat. Now we learn that some of you just loaf around and won’t do any work, except the work of a busybody. So, for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ, we ask and beg these people to settle down and start working for a living. Dear friends, you must never become tired of doing right.
