Proteção e segurança: refúgio e amparo nas crises

He covers you over with His pinion, || And under His wings you trust, || His truth [is] a shield and buckler.(Psalms 91:4)

And YHWH is a tower for the bruised, || A tower for times of adversity.(Psalms 9:9)

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.

And You, O YHWH, [are] a shield for me, || My glory, and lifter up of my head.(Psalms 3:3)

A PSALM OF DAVID, IN HIS FLEEING FROM THE FACE OF HIS SON ABSALOM. YHWH, how my distresses have multiplied! Many are rising up against me. Many are saying of my soul, "There is no salvation for him in God." Selah. And You, O YHWH, [are] a shield for me, || My glory, and lifter up of my head. My voice [is] to YHWH: I call and He answers me from His holy hill, Selah. I have lain down, and I sleep, || I have awoken, for YHWH sustains me. I am not afraid of myriads of people, || That they have set against me all around.(Psalms 3:1-6)

God—perfect [is] His way, || The saying of YHWH is tried, || He [is] a shield to all those trusting in Him.(Psalms 18:30)

I called You, for You answer me, || O God, incline Your ear to me, hear my speech. Separate Your kindness wonderfully, O Savior of the confiding, || By Your right hand, from withstanders. Keep me as the apple, the daughter of the eye; Hide me in the shadow of Your wings, From the face of the wicked who spoiled me, || [From] my enemies in soul who go around against me.(Psalms 17:6-9)

You [are] a hiding place for me, || You keep me from distress, || Surround me [with] songs of deliverance. Selah.(Psalms 32:7)

BY DAVID. Blessed [is] YHWH my Rock, || Who is teaching My hands for war, || My fingers for battle. My kind one, and my bulwark, || My tower, and my deliverer, || My shield, and in whom I have trusted, || Who is subduing my people under me!(Psalms 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.

therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows those things that you have need of before your asking Him;(Matthew 6:8)

but seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these will be added to you.(Matthew 6:33)

and my God will supply all your need, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus;(Philippians 4:19)
