Descansar no Senhor
Descansar no Senhor é um ato de fé. Em um mundo agitado, Deus nos convida a entregar nossas ansiedades, aquietar o coração e confiar plenamente em sua provisão e cuidado.
O convite ao descanso
Jesus convida os cansados e sobrecarregados a irem a Ele e encontrar descanso para as suas almas. O jugo dele é leve.
7 Resign thyself unto the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
10 'Let be, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.'
8 Trust in Him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah
Confiança e paz
Quem confia no Senhor encontra paz perfeita. A ansiedade perde o poder quando entregamos tudo nas mãos do Deus soberano.
3 The mind stayed on Thee Thou keepest in perfect peace; because it trusteth in Thee.
15 For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: in sitting still and rest shall ye be saved, in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength; and ye would not.
17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and confidence for ever.
31 But they that wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.
Esperar no Senhor
Esperar no Senhor renova as forças. A Bíblia nos ensina que aquietar-se diante de Deus e confiar em seu tempo é marca da maturidade espiritual.
14 Wait on the LORD; be strong, and let thy heart take courage; yea, wait thou for the LORD.
1 I waited patiently for the LORD; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He will sustain thee; He will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
4 Tremble, and sin not; commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah
25 The LORD is good unto them that wait for Him, to the soul that seeketh Him.26 It is good that a man should quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
A fidelidade de Deus
Deus é fiel. Seus planos são de paz e esperança. Podemos descansar sabendo que Ele guarda e sustenta quem nele confia.
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.12 And ye shall call upon Me, and go, and pray unto Me, and I will hearken unto you.13 And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart.
7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose trust the LORD is.8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out its roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but its foliage shall be luxuriant; and shall not be anxious in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
14 And He said: 'My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.'
7 For he said unto Judah: 'Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars; the land is yet before us, because we have sought the LORD our God; we have sought Him, and He hath given us rest on every side.' So they built and prospered.
27 As they were going down at the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul: 'Bid the servant pass on before us--and he passed on--but stand thou still at this time, that I may cause thee to hear the word of God.'
