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 then a sabbatism to the people of God.10 For he that has entered into his rest, he also has rested from his works, as God did from his own.

13 If thou turn back thy foot from the sabbath, {from} doing thy pleasure on my holy day, and call the sabbath a delight, the holy {day} of Jehovah, honourable; and thou honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking {idle} words;14 then shalt thou delight thyself in Jehovah, and I will cause thee to ride on the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.

31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatever ye do, do all things to God's glory.

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 will I both lay me down and sleep; for thou, Jehovah, alone makest me to dwell in safety.

5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.

2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to lie down late, to eat the bread of sorrows: so to his beloved one he giveth sleep.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, for the arrow that flieth by day,

24 when thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid, but thou shalt lie down and thy sleep shall be sweet.

12 The sleep of the labourer is sweet, whether he have eaten little or much; but the fulness of the rich doth not suffer 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 shalt have confidence, because there shall be hope; and having searched about {thee}, thou shalt take rest in safety.19 Yea, thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; and many shall seek thy favour.

2 He entereth into peace: they rest in their beds, {each one} that hath walked in his uprightness.
