Tudo posso naquele que me fortalece
Filipenses 4:13 é um dos versículos mais conhecidos da Bíblia. Essa declaração de Paulo não é sobre capacidade humana, mas sobre a suficiência de Cristo que nos fortalece em toda circunstância.
Fortalecidos em Cristo
Nossa capacidade vem de Deus, não de nós mesmos. Paulo aprendeu que em qualquer situação — abundância ou necessidade — Cristo é a fonte inesgotável de poder.
13 I have strength for all things in him that gives me power.
11 Not that I speak as regards privation, for as to me *I* have learnt in those circumstances in which I am, to be satisfied in myself.12 I know both how to be abased and I know how to abound. In everything and in all things I am initiated both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer privation.13 I have strength for all things in him that gives me power.
19 But my God shall abundantly supply all your need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Coragem e poder divino
Deus nos dá espírito de poder, amor e moderação. Nele somos mais que vencedores e podemos enfrentar qualquer adversidade.
7 For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, and of love, and of wise discretion.
4 *Ye* are of God, children, and have overcome them, because greater is he that {is} in you than he that {is} in the world.
1 [{A Psalm} of David.] Jehovah is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Confiança e vitória
Quando lançamos nossas ansiedades sobre Deus e resistimos ao inimigo pela fé, experimentamos a renovação e a transformação que vêm do Senhor.
7 having cast all your care upon him, for he cares about you.
7 Subject yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
2 And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of {your} mind, that ye may prove what {is} the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
