Planejamento
O planejamento é sábio, mas deve sempre se submeter à vontade de Deus. A Bíblia ensina que devemos planejar com prudência, mas confiar que Deus dirige nossos passos.
Planejar com sabedoria
Contar nossos dias nos ensina a ter coração sábio. O planejamento prudente é elogiado na Escritura como expressão de bom senso.
So teach us to number yameinu,
that we may apply levav unto chochmah.
For who among you, wanting to build a migdal (tower), will not first sit down and rechen (calculate) the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?
Without counsel, plans go amiss,
but in the multitude of yo’atzim (counsellors) they are established.
Commit thy ma’asim (works) unto Hashem,
and thy plans shall be established.
Overwork not to get rich;
cease from thine own binah (understanding).
Deus dirige os passos
O coração do homem planeja, mas a resposta certa vem do Senhor. Seus caminhos são mais altos que os nossos, e seus planos prevalecem.
The lev adam plans his derech,
but Hashem directeth his steps.
There are many plans in a lev ish;
nevertheless it is the etzah of Hashem that shall stand.
For My machshevot are not your machshevot,
neither are the darkhei (ways) of you the darkhei of Me, saith Hashem.
For as Shomayim is higher than ha’aretz,
so are the darkhei of Me higher than the darkhei of you,
and My machshevot than your machshevot.
This also cometh forth from Hashem Tzva’os,
Who is wonderful in etzah, and excellent in wisdom.
Confiança no plano de Deus
Os planos do Senhor são de paz e esperança. Ele revela seus segredos aos seus servos e guia com fidelidade cada caminho confiado a Ele.
For I know the machshavot (thoughts, plans) that I think toward you, saith Hashem, machshavot shalom, and not of ra’ah, to give you an acharit (future) and a tikvah (hope).
Surely Adonoi Hashem will do nothing,
but He revealeth His sod (secret)
unto His avadim hanevi’im.
Remember all thy minchot,
and accept thy olat;
Selah.
Cause me to hear Thy chesed in the boker;
for in Thee do I trust;
cause me to know the Derech wherein I should walk;
for I lift up my nefesh unto Thee.
To every thing there is a zeman (time), and an et (season) for every matter under Shomayim:
But Hashem has made the hitgalut haSod (the revelation of the mystery) to us of these things through the Ruach Hakodesh; for the Ruach Hakodesh searches all things, even the deep things of G-d.
Envy thou not the ish chamas,
and choose none of his drakhim.
For the perverse person is to’avat (detestable) to Hashem;
but His sod (secret, intimate counsel) is with the yesharim (upright ones).
