Oportunidades
As oportunidades são dádivas de Deus que exigem sabedoria e prontidão. A Bíblia nos chama a aproveitar o tempo, agir com diligência e não desperdiçar os kairos divinos.
Aproveitando o tempo
Remindo o tempo, porque os dias são maus. O cristão é chamado a reconhecer e aproveitar cada oportunidade com sabedoria.
Redeeming the time, because the yamim are ra’im.
