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.
All ye that travail, and be charged, come to me, and I shall fulfill [or shall refresh] you.
Take ye my yoke on you, and learn ye of me, for I am mild and meek in heart; and ye shall find rest to your souls.
For my yoke is soft [or sweet], and my charge is light [or easy].
be thou subject to the Lord, and pray thou him. Do not thou pursue [or follow] him, that hath prosperity in his way; nor a man doing unright-fulness.
Give ye attention, and see ye, that I am God; I shall be enhanced among heathen men; and I shall be enhanced in earth.
All the gathering together of the people, hope ye in God, pour ye out your hearts before him; God is our helper without end.
Confiança e paz
Quem confia no Senhor encontra paz perfeita. A ansiedade perde o poder quando entregamos tudo nas mãos do Deus soberano.
The eld [or old] error is gone away; thou shalt keep peace, peace, for thou, Lord, we hoped in thee.
For why the Lord God, the Holy of Israel, saith these things, If ye turn again, and rest, ye shall be safe; in stillness and in hope shall be your strength. And ye would not.
and the work of rightfulness [or rightwiseness] shall be peace, and the tilth of rightfulness [or rightwiseness]shall be stillness and secureness, till into without end.
But they that hope in the Lord, shall change strength, they shall take feathers as eagles; they shall run, and shall not travail; they shall go, and shall not fail.
And the peace of God, that passeth all wit, keep your hearts and understandings in Christ Jesus.
and cast ye all your busyness into him, for to him is care of 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.
Abide thou the Lord, do thou manly; and thine heart be comforted, and suffer thou for the Lord.
For victory, the psalm of David. I abiding abode the Lord; and he gave attention to me. And he heard my prayers;
Cast thy care, or thought, [or thy busyness], on the Lord, and he shall fully nourish thee; and he shall not give without end fluttering to a just [or rightwise] man.
Be ye wroth, and do not ye sin; and for those evils to which ye say in your hearts and in your beds, be ye compunct.
The Lord is good to them that hope into him, to a soul seeking him.
It is good to abide with stillness the health of God.
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 thoughts which I think on you, saith the Lord, the thoughts of peace, and not of torment, that I give to you an end and patience.
And ye shall call me to help, and ye shall go, and shall worship me, and I shall hear you;
ye shall seek me, and ye shall find, when ye seek me in all your heart.
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and the Lord shall be his trust.
And he shall be as a tree, which is planted over waters, which sendeth his roots to moisture; and it shall not dread, when heat shall come; and the leaf thereof shall be green, and it shall not be moved in the time of dryness, neither any time it shall fail to make fruit.
And God said, My face shall go before thee, and I shall give rest to thee.
For which cause also I suffer these things; but I am not confound-ed. For I know to whom I have believed, and I am certain that he is mighty to keep that is taken to my keeping, into that day.
And Asa said to Judah, Build we [up] these cities, and encompass we them with walls, and strengthen we them with towers, and gates, and locks, as long as all things be restful from battle; for we have sought the Lord God of our fathers, and he hath given to us rest by compass. There-fore they builded, and there was no hindering in the building.
And when they went down into the last part of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Say thou to the child, that he go before us, and pass [forth]; forsooth stand thou [still] a little, that I show to thee the word of the Lord.
