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 who are burden-weary and heavy laden, and I will give you Shabbos menuchah. Take my ol (yoke) upon you and learn from me, for I am anav (humble) and have shiflut (lowliness) in lev (heart), and you will find menuchah (rest, security) for your nefashot (souls). For my ol (yoke) is easy and my burden is light.
Rest in Hashem, and wait patiently for Him;
fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his derech,
because of the ish who bringeth wicked schemes to pass.
He maketh milchamot to cease unto the end of ha’aretz;
He breaketh the keshet (bow), and cutteth the khanit (spear);
He burneth the chariots in the eish.
In Elohim is my salvation and my Kavod:
the Tzur of my strength, and my refuge, is in Elohim.
Confiança e paz
Quem confia no Senhor encontra paz perfeita. A ansiedade perde o poder quando entregamos tudo nas mãos do Deus soberano.
Thou wilt keep him in shalom shalom,
whose yetzer (mind-set) is stayed on Thee;
because he trusteth in Thee.
For thus saith
Adonoi Hashem Kadosh Yisroel;
In shuvah (returning) and rest shall ye be saved;
in quietness and in confidence shall be your gevurah (strength);
but ye would not.
And the ma’aseh (work) of tzedakah (righteousness) shall be shalom;
and the effect of tzedakah
quietness and assurance ad olam (forever).
But they that wait upon Hashem shall renew their ko’ach;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not grow weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint.
And the shalom Hashem, surpassing all binah (understanding), will guard your levavot and your machshavot (thoughts) in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.
HASHLECH AL ADONOI Y’HAVECHA V’HU Y’CHALKELECHA (Cast your care on Hashem and He will sustain you), because Hashem cares and is concerned about 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.
Wait for Hashem: Chazak!
And strengthen thine lev.
Wait, I say, for Hashem.
(For the one directing, Of Dovid. Mizmor)
The words of his mouth were smoother than butter,
but war was in his lev;
his devarim were softer than shemen,
yet they were drawn swords.
But know that Hashem hath set apart the chasid for Himself;
Hashem will hear when I call unto Him.
Hashem is tov unto them that wait for Him,
to the nefesh that seeketh Him.
It is good that a man should both hope
and quietly wait for the Teshu’at Hashem.
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.
For I know the machshavot (thoughts, plans) that I think toward you, saith Hashem, machshavot shalom, and not of ra’ah, to give you an acharit (future) and a tikvah (hope). Then shall ye call upon Me, and ye shall go and v’hitpalaltem (and you [plural] will pray) unto Me, and I will pay heed unto you. And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me b’chol lvavchem (with all your heart).
Baruch hagever asher yivtach baHashem (Blessed is the man that trusteth in Hashem),
and whose mivtach (confidence) Hashem is.
For he shall be as an etz planted by the mayim,
and that spreadeth out her shorashim (roots) by the brook,
and shall not fear when chom (heat) cometh,
but its leaf shall be green;
and shall not be anxious in the shenat batzoret (year of drought),
neither shall cease from yielding p’ri (fruit).
And He said, My Presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
It is because of these things also that I suffer. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and I have been persuaded that He is able to stand shomer, guarding until HaYom HaHu the pikkadon (deposit) entrusted to Him by me.
And Asa had an army of men that bore shields and spears, out of Yehudah three hundred thousand; and out of Binyamin, that bore mogen and drew keshet (bow), two hundred and fourscore elef; all these were gibborei chayil.
And as they were going down to the outskirts of the town, Shmuel said to Sha’ul, Bid the na’ar pass on before us (and he passed on), but stand thou still a while, that I may show thee the Devar Elohim.
