Do Not Fret// Não Se aborreça


The year is going so fast, don’t you think? I’m really satisfied and content in how it is going, how about you? Have you thought about it? So far do good?

I have learned a lot lately and seen God works wonderfully all around.
Psalm 37 is a beautiful one, and whenever you feel discouraged, I suggest you open your bible and read it. It has promises for our lives. You will feel encouraged and renewed. Let’s look at the first verses.

He starts like this “Fret not yourself…” in other words: Calm down! Why are you so nervous about? He just wants you to feel secure. “Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers!” (ESV).
In verse 4 “Delight yourself in the Lord…” à do you know what does it mean “delight yourself”? Have pleasure, enjoy being in the Lord’s presence; seek His presence with joy. Go to his feet with expectations as you ran to your dad when you were a child. “He will give you the desires of your heart”. This is a promise. He is saying He loves listening to your requests and granting them like a father does. He is our Father in heaven.

“Commit your war to the Lord” (v.5); how do you do this? As you search to know him better, and feel the joy of being in his presence, to be committed in His way will come naturally; the Spirit will guide you. You will be transformed by his love and grace. “Trust in Him and He will act” (v.5). Take heart my dear in his promises. His words never change, He never changes. He is the beginning and the end. All that is written will be fulfilled. His promises are for me and for you.

“Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him”. What do you think about a patient person? I think a patient person is strong, is wise, is mature, and I want to be a patient person from inside out. It isn’t easy to be patient. But God wants us to be. Because not everything we want can be given to us immediately.

Imagine if we got everything we ever wanted how disastrous would our life be? Have you ever thought about it? If every single thing I wished I had got it I certainly would be in hot water...  thankfully my God is way wiser than me, and He knows the consequences of our wishes and sometimes He decides for us and gives us a big NO. Because this is what a good dad does to his kid. And we have to learn to be thankful for that.
Wait for Him. Do not fret.
That is the message.





O ano está passando muito rápido, não acha? Eu estou muito satisfeita e contente como está indo para mim. E pra você? Já parou para pensar como está indo seu ano? Tudo bem?

Eu tenho aprendido tanto, e tenho visto Deus trabalhando maravilhas por todos os lados.
O salmo 37 é muito bonito, e sempre que se sentir desencorajado, abra sua bíblia e leia esse salmo. Nesse salmo tem promessas para nossas vidas! Você será encorajado e renovada. Vamos dar uma olhada nos primeiros versos.

Ele começa: “Não se aborreça...” em outras palavras, se acalme, por que você está tão nervoso? Ele só quer que você se sinta seguro. “Não se aborreça por causa dos homens maus
e não tenha inveja dos perversos;”
Versículo 4 “Deleite-se no Senhor...” você sabe o que significa deleitar-se? Significa ter prazer, aproveitar, sentir-se contente de estar na presença do Senhor; buscar Sua presença como você corria pros braços do seu pai quando você era criança. “Ele atenderá os desejos do seu coração”. Isto é uma promessa. Ele está dizendo que Ele ama ouvir seus pedidos e atende-los como um pai sente prazer em fazer os gostos dos filhos. Ele é nosso Pai do céu.

“Entregue teu caminho ao Senhor” (v.5) como você faz isso? Conforme você buscar sua presença, confiar em Deus vem naturalmente; o Espírito guiará você. Você será transformado pelo Seu amor e sua graça. “Confia nele e Ele tudo fará” (v.5). Segure no coração meu querido e minha querida, as promessas que Ele tem para nós. Sua Palavra nunca muda, Ele nunca muda. Ele é o princípio e o fim. Tudo o que está escrito será cumprido.  Suas promessas são para mim e para você.

“Descanse no Senhor e aguarde por ele com paciência;” O que você acha de uma pessoa paciente? Eu acho que uma pessoa que é notoriamente paciente é uma pessoa forte, sábia, madura. Eu quero ser uma pessoa paciente de dentro para fora. Não é algo que a pessoa nasce, nem é fácil de adquirir. Mas é algo que a gente consegue se tornar com a ajuda de Deus. Deus nos quer paciente. Porque nem tudo o que nós queremos pode ser dado para nós imediatamente. 

Imagine se você tivesse conseguido tudo o que um dia você desejou como estaria sua vida hoje? Já pensou sobre isso? Se eu tivesse conseguido cada pequena e grande coisa que eu desejei por um segundo na minha vida hoje certamente eu estaria em maus lençóis.  Graças a Deus que Ele é muito mais sábio que eu, e não me deu tudo o que eu queria. Ele sabe as consequências de cada pedido, e as vezes Ele vai sim nos dá um Não bem grande. Porque é isso que um bom pai faz. E nós temos que aprender a ser agradecido por isso também.
Espere Nele. Não se aborreça.
Esta é a mensagem.

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...
