Repouso e férias

Por Bíblia Online –

Deus criou o descanso como parte da vida. O sábado, o repouso e até as férias refletem a confiança de que Deus sustenta todas as coisas — mesmo quando paramos.

O descanso como ordenança

Deus descansou no sétimo dia e nos convidou a fazer o mesmo. O descanso sabático é um presente de Deus para restauração do corpo e da alma.

9 There remains therefore a Sabbath for the people of God.10 For a man who has entered into his rest, he has also rested from his works, as God did from his own.

13 If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, [and] the holy of LORD honorable, and shall honor it, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, no14 then thou shall delight thyself in LORD, and I will make thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and I will feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father. For the mouth of LORD has spoken it.

31 Therefore whether ye eat, or drink, or anything ye do, do all to the glory of God.

Sono e paz

Ditar-se em paz e dormir tranquilamente é bênção do Senhor. Quem confia nele dorme sem medo e acorda renovado.

8 In peace I will both lay down and sleep, for thou, LORD, alone make me dwell in safety.

5 I laid down and slept. I awoke, for LORD sustains me.

2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to take rest late, to eat the bread of toil, [for] so he gives sleep to his beloved.

5 Thou shall not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flies by day,

24 When thou lay down, thou shall not be afraid. Yea, thou shall lay down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

12 The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eats little or much, but the fullness of the rich will not allow him to sleep.

Descanso e segurança

No repouso, encontramos segurança. Deus guarda os justos, e mesmo no silêncio da noite, sua paz nos protege e restaura.

18 And thou shall be secure, because there is hope. Yea, thou shall search [about thee], and shall take thy rest in safety.19 Also thou shall lie down, and none shall make thee afraid. Yea, many shall correspond with thee.

2 He enters into peace. They rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.
