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.
28 Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.29 Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and humble of heart, and ye shall find rest for your souls.30 For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.:
7 [Daleth] Be silent before the LORD and wait [patiently] for him; do not be angry with him who prospers in his way, with the man who brings wicked devices to pass.
10 Be still, and know that I [am] God; I will be exalted in the Gentiles, I will be exalted in the earth.
8 Wait in him at all times; [ye] peoples, pour out your heart before him; God [is] our refuge. 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 Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee]: because he trusts in thee.
15 For the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel has said; In returning 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 rest and security for ever.
31 but those that wait for the LORD shall have new strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.:
7 And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
7 casting all your cares upon him, for he cares for you.
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 for the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart; wait, I say, for the LORD.:
1 To the Overcomer, A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD, and he inclined unto me and heard my cry.
22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee; he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not; meditate in your heart upon your bed, and desist. Selah.
25 [Teth] The LORD [is] good unto those that wait in him, to the soul [that] seeks him.26 [Teth] [It is] good to wait quietly in 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 concerning you, said the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you the end that you wait for.12 Then ye shall call upon me, and ye shall walk [in my ways] and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.13 And ye shall seek me, and find [me], for ye shall seek me with all your heart.
7 Blessed [is] the man that is steadfast in the LORD and whose trust is the LORD.8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, [that] spreads out her roots by the river and shall not see when heat comes, but her leaf shall be green and shall not be fatigued 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.
12 For which cause I also suffer these things; nevertheless, I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
7 Therefore, he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities and make about [them] walls and towers, gates, and bars, now that the land [is] ours; because we have sought the LORD our God, we have sought [him], and he has given us rest on every side. So they built and were prospered.
27 [And] as they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us (and he passed on), but stand thou still a while that I may declare thee the word of God.:
