Não desista!
'Não desista!' é o grito do céu para a terra. Deus nos encoraja a perseverar na fé, na oração e na esperança, porque a vitória pertence aos que não se rendem.
Força na fraqueza
Os que esperam no Senhor renovam as forças. Deus não se cansa nem se fatiga — Ele dá poder aos fracos e vigor aos cansados.
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? His discernment is past searching out.29 He giveth power to the faint; and to him that hath no might He increaseth strength.30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall;31 But they that wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.
19 For, O people that dwellest in Zion at Jerusalem, thou shalt weep no more; He will surely be gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry, when He shall hear, He will answer thee.
1 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name, thou art Mine.2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.3 For I am the LORD thy God, The Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour; I have given Egypt as thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
Perseverança na fé
Não perca a confiança, pois ela tem grande recompensa. O justo viverá pela fé, e quem perseverar até o fim será salvo.
Deus é refúgio
O Senhor é nosso refúgio e fortaleza. Ele ouve nossas orações, nos consola nas tribulações e transforma choro em dança.
1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He will sustain thee; He will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
9 The LORD also will be a high tower for the oppressed, a high tower in times of trouble;10 And they that know Thy name will put their trust in Thee; for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek Thee.
5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.6 Though he goeth on his way weeping that beareth the measure of seed, he shall come home with joy, bearing his sheaves.
24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all ye that wait for the LORD.
105 NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
18 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth.19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear Him; He also will hear their cry, and will save them.
Vitória em Cristo
Jesus venceu o mundo e nos dá vitória. Para Deus nada é impossível, e Ele faz infinitamente mais do que pedimos ou pensamos.
Esperança e transformação
O Senhor completa a boa obra que começou em nós. Ele faz novas todas as coisas e dá esperança para o futuro.
7 The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that take refuge in Him.
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
7 But be ye strong, and let not your hands be slack; for your work shall be rewarded.'
Permanecendo firme
Persevere na oração, firme-se na Palavra e fortaleça-se na graça de Cristo. A fé vem pelo ouvir, e o ouvir pela Palavra de Deus.
