Be worried or not be worried // se preocupar ou não se preocupar

Preocupação não vai impedir as coisas ruins de aconetcerem, ela só vai impedir você de aproveitar as boas coisas.


For two days now I’m having this pain in my neck, no really able of sitting or standing for long, or looking up is not an easy job neither is to complain about it.  It has been a while since the Fibromyalgia had given me a break; I was content, but when the worries come so does the pain.

It’s hard not to worry about anything, or even control the urge of worrying. Sometimes it is like an addiction, the worry, you know. You feel like you have to because if you don’t, you might feel guilty or irresponsible. But Jesus said that you and I cannot add an hour in our lifespan with worry. So why bother? Do you solve anything by worrying this much? I don’t think so.

However, sometimes it is inevitable. Like, someone is about to receive the news that will change his life forever, what do you think? He will worry, I will worry, anybody would worry. We get anxious. Why do we feel this way? Because if we don’t, people might get the wrong impression, right? Like you are insensitive, have a hard and cold heart.

I understand. We don’t notice that. It is like in our nature to worry. Because we care. We care for our friends, we care for our family members, we care, so we worry. It is ok, since this worry doesn’t make you sick, or bothers others.

Jesus wants you to tell him all your worries, and trust Him, that he is on his way to help you. But you know, it will be his way of doing. He is the best, believe me. Better, believe Him.
No matter what comes in your way, He is with you. He’ll take the hit. Let Him be your shield, your protection. Ask him.

Let’s pray: Dear Lord, fill my heart with your peace. Come to me and be my shield, my protection, my lawyer, be my doctor, my immune system. Be with me, Be in me. Take the hit for me, because I can’t take it, I might faint. I’m too weak, be by my side; let me feel your presence, In Jesus name, Amen.

Já são dois dias que eu estou com essa dor no meu pescoço. Não ser capaz de sentar ou ficar em pé muito tempo, nem reclamar sobre isso, não tem sido fácil. Já fazia um tempo que a fibromialgia tinha me dado um tempo, eu estava até contente com isso. Mas quando as preocupações vêm, as dores também vêm.

É difícil não se preocupar com nada, ou mesmo controlar a necessidade de se preocupar. Às vezes parece um vício, a preocupação, sabe.  Você sente como se tivesse, porque se você não se preocupa, você se sente culpado ou irresponsável. Mas Jesus disse que ao se preocupar não adicionaremos nenhuma hora no nosso tempo de vida, então para que se incomodar? Resolve algo ao se preocupar? Acho que não.

No entanto, às vezes é inevitável. Como alguém que está para receber uma notícia que vai mudar sua vida para sempre, o que você acha? Tem como não se preocupar? Eu me preocuparia e ficaria ansiosa, certo? Por que nos sentimos desse jeito? Porque se não nos sentimos assim, as pessoas podem ter a impressão errada sobre nós, podem pensar que somos insensíveis ou ter um coração duro e frio.

Eu entendo. Nós não percebemos que agimos assim. É como se estivesse na nossa natureza se preocupar. Porque nós nos importamos. Nós amamos nossos amigos, família, e por isso nos preocupamos. Tudo bem, desde que essa preocupação não te deixe doente, ou incomode os outros.

Jesus quer que você diga para ele todas as suas preocupações, e confie nele, porque ele já está à caminho para te ajudar. Ele é o melhor, acredite. Melhor, acredite Nele. Não importa o que vem no seu caminho, Ele está com você. Ele vai tomar a pancada por você. Deixe-o ser seu escudo, sua proteção. Peça a Ele.

Oremos: Senhor Deus, enche meu coração com sua paz. Vem para mim e seja meu escudo, minha proteção, meu advogado, meu médico, meu sistema imune. Esteja comigo, esteja dentro de mim. Receba a pancada por mim, porque eu não aguento, eu posso desmaiar. Eu sou muito fraca; esteja ao meu lado e permita que eu sinta sua presença. Em nome de Jesus, amém.

I see Grace in the time of the Law // Eu vejo Graça no tempo da Lei

People frequently say that the Old Testament is the time of the law, and now we are under the Grace of God. Surprisingly, I just found out an explicit act of the Grace of God in the Old Testament. As I read chapter 9 of Deuteronomy , in which has a title Not because of Righteousness (ESV). I am stunned to see verses 4 - 6, they say: “ Do not say in your heart , after the Lord your God has thrust them out before you, ‘ It is because of my righteousness that the Lord has brought me in to possess this land,’ whereas it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord is driving them out before you. 5 Not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart are you going in to possess their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations the Lord your God is driving them out from before you, and that he may confirm the word that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.6 “Know, therefore, that the Lord your God is not giving y...

All Magic comes with a price // Toda mágica tem um preço

  How to Recognize Foolishness and Pursue Wisdom A devotional reflection on humility, discernment, and the cost of our choices Opening Scripture “Do not be wise in your own eyes.” — Proverbs 3:7 Devotional Reading A fool is not the same as an insane person. In my understanding, an insane person is unable to reason clearly; things may not make sense in their mind. A fool, however, is someone who rejects counsel, ignores warnings, disobeys what is right, and acts from wrong motivations. If a person does the wrong thing for the right reason, we may still be able to understand the motive. But foolishness is different: it is often rooted in ignorance, arrogance, and a narrow mind that refuses wisdom. How can we recognize a wise person? In my understanding, a wise person does not act impulsively. This person does not need to suffer through every mistake in order to learn, because wisdom can also come from observing the experiences of ot...

Doubts and fears leave us halfway // Dúvidas e medos nos deixam na metade do caminho

  Despite all the sad news I got this week, we are still standing. I am in the Book of Joshua, in my annual Bible reading. There is a part in the book that is kind of boring. It is the distribution of the cities and borders. It is tempting to skip this part, but something that I heard from the guy from the Bible Project usually says, “it is wisdom literature”, or “meditation literature”. There is something important besides geographical information in these texts. And there is. Joshua 17:18c “though the Canaanites have chariots fitted with iron and though they are strong, you can drive them out”. In the beginning of the book and several other parts too, the LORD says to Joshua, “Be strong and courageous”. What does that mean? What is this book really about? Well, the way I see it might not be the same way you see it. The way I see this book is about how we trust God and obey Him. Then we will see Him doing amazing things. It doesn’t matter how n...
