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.
For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.
Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.
And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us 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.
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.
The Lord is my light and my salvation—
so why should I be afraid?
The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger,
so why should I tremble?
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.
Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.
So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
