Proteção e segurança: refúgio e amparo nas crises

Refúgio e fortaleza nas horas de aflição

A proteção de Deus não significa ausência de dificuldades, mas a certeza de amparo no meio delas. Quem busca refúgio no Senhor encontra abrigo seguro contra o medo, força nas crises e descanso para o coração.

1 Kuna twetwe Imulungu yuyo yatumtsumila na iyotwing’a ngupfu,

yeye kotwapfila ng’ani mna ghamatsuwa gha ukughaya.(Salmos 46:1)

1 Yeye iyokala hanu ha ugima ha ayula Yali Kuchanya Ng’ani,

iyobwihila hana ichimbeho cha Imulungu Iyana Ngupfu.

2 Nitsomlongela IMNDEWA, "Ghweghwe kwa kimbililo lyangu na ingome yangu,

Imlungu wangu yanikuhuwila."(Salmos 91:1,2)

9 Iwanu iwodununzighwa watsomtsumila IMNDEWA,

O Senhor como escudo diante da oposição

Quando Davi compôs o Salmo 3 ao fugir do próprio filho, sua segurança não vinha do número de soldados, mas de saber que Deus sustentava a sua cabeça erguida. O Senhor se interpõe entre você e o que tenta derrubar sua fé.

3 Lekeni ghweghwe, IMNDEWA kwa ngao yangu iinikinga chila ubali,

ghweghwe yuning’alitsa tenda nihume, naghwe yuyo yunyinula.(Salmos 3:3)

1 Ghwe IMNDEWA, lola maaduwi wangu pfawali wengi,

kutsonikinga na ghamaghayo,

na kutsonitsunguluka aku nakwimba tsiwila tsa ukukombolighwa.(Salmos 32:7)

1 Yabalikighwe IMNDEWA, bambalawe lyangu,

iyolangulitsa ghamoko ghangu ukwitowa ng’ondo,

na iyolangulitsa ipfidole pfangu ukwitowa.

yeye konikinga na konikombola,

yeye ka ngawo yangu,

nomtsumila yeye nikale tseghamba,

iyowahuma iwanu wa tsiisi tsingi na koweka mna ghamoko ghangu.(Salmos 144:1,2)

Provisão e sustento contra a incerteza de amanhã

O medo do futuro e a angústia da escassez perdem força diante do Deus que sustenta a vida a cada dia. Buscar o Reino em primeiro lugar reorganiza as prioridades e devolve a paz material e espiritual.

Guarda contínua em cada passo do caminho

Quem enfrenta dias cheios ou caminhos perigosos encontra no Salmo 121 o lembrete de que o Deus de Israel não dorme. Ele acompanha a sua saída e a sua chegada em todo tempo.

A certeza da presença divina nas batalhas

Moisés e Josué enfrentaram cenários impossíveis ancorados numa única garantia: o Senhor ia com eles. A presença de Deus é o que dissipa a solidão e renova a coragem nos momentos mais difíceis.
