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.
Come to me, all you people who are very weary of trying to obey all the many laws that your religious teachers tell you to obey [MET]. I will enable you to quit trying to obey all those laws. Let me help you carry those loads, just like two oxen who have a yoke on their necks [MET, DOU] help each other pull a heavy load. It will not be difficult for you to do the things that I ask you to do for me [DOU]. Because I am gentle and humble [DOU], accept what I teach about what God wants you to do. And as a result, you will quit worrying about obeying all the religious laws, and your spirits will be at peace."
Be quiet in Yahweh’s presence, and wait patiently for him to do what you want him to do.
Do not be bothered/upset when what evil men do is successful,
when they are able to do the wicked things that they plan.
God says, "Be quiet, and remember that I am God!
I will be honored by the people of all nations.
I will be honored all over the earth."
You my people, always trust in him.
Tell him all your troubles,
because he is ◄our refuge/the one who protects us► [MET].
(Think about that!)
Confiança e paz
Quem confia no Senhor encontra paz perfeita. A ansiedade perde o poder quando entregamos tudo nas mãos do Deus soberano.
Yahweh, those who trust in you,
those who firmly resolve to never doubt you,
you will enable them to feel perfectly peaceful.
Yahweh, our God, the Holy One of Israel, also says this:
"You will be rescued from your enemies only if you repent and trust in what I will do for you;
you will be strong only if you quit worrying and trust in me.
But you do not want to do that.
And the result of their acting righteously will be that there will be peace,
the land will be tranquil/quiet, and people will be secure/safe forever.
But those who trust in Yahweh will become strong again;
it will be as though they will soar/fly high like [SIM] eagles do.
They will run for a long time and not become weary;
they will walk long distances and not faint.
As a result, God will enable you not to worry about anything [MTY] (OR, God will protect your minds in every way) [PRS]. That is, he will cause you to have inner peace because you have a relationship with Christ Jesus. You will not be able to understand [PRS] how you can be so peaceful in such difficult circumstances!!
Because he takes care of you, let him take care of all the things that you are worried/concerned about.
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.
So trust in Yahweh, all of you!
Be strong and courageous,
and wait expectantly for him to help you!
I waited patiently for Yahweh to help me,
and he listened to me [DOU] when I called out to him.
Put your troubles in Yahweh’s hands,
and he will take care of you;
he will never allow righteous people to experience disasters.
When you people get angry, do not allow your anger to control you and cause you to sin.
While you lie on your bed,
silently examine what you are thinking.
(Think about that!)
Yahweh is good to all those who depend on him,
to those who seek his help.
So it is good for us to wait quietly
for Yahweh to save/rescue us.
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.
I, Yahweh, know what I have planned for you. I am planning to cause things to go well for you, not to cause you to experience disasters. I am planning to give you many things that you confidently expect to receive in the future. At that time, when you pray, I will heed you. If you earnestly desire for me to bless you, you will experience me blessing you.
But I am pleased with those who trust in me, Yahweh,
and who confidently expect me to take care of them.
Those people are like [SIM] fruit trees that have been planted along a riverbank,
trees that have roots that go down into the wet ground beside the water.
They are trees whose leaves remain green when it becomes hot,
trees that continue to bear fruit when there are many months in which there is no rain.
Yahweh replied, "I will go with you, and I will give you inner peace."
So, even though I suffer here in this prison, I am not ashamed of being here (OR, I am very confident), because I know Christ Jesus, the one whom I have trusted, and I am convinced/sure that he is able to keep safe the good message that he has entrusted to me (OR, the things that I have entrusted to him), and that he will reward me at the time [MTY] when he comes again.
Asa said to the people of Judah, "We should protect these towns by building walls around them, with watchtowers and gates that have bars. This country still belongs to us because we have requested Yahweh our God to help us. We requested him for his help, and he has given us peace in our entire country." So they built buildings and prospered.
When they got to the edge of the town, Samuel told Saul to send his servant ahead. After the servant left, Samuel said to Saul, "Stay here for a few minutes, in order that I can give you a message I received from God."
