Psalm 30 // Salmos 30


Please, meditate in this Psalm today. Make a little prayer before reading it. Then, read it slowly, thinking about every word and its meaning. Then, think about your life, what you have endured, how many victories and how many defeats, or even how many nights you have spent crying to the Lord and very soon your prayer was answered. Thank him for everything.
Psalm 30[a]
A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple.[b] Of David.
1 I will exalt you, LORD,
    for you lifted me out of the depths
    and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
2 LORD my God, I called to you for help,
    and you healed me.
3 You, LORD, brought me up from the realm of the dead;
    you spared me from going down to the pit.
4 Sing the praises of the LORD, you his faithful people;
    praise his holy name.
5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
    but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night,
    but rejoicing comes in the morning.
6 When I felt secure, I said,
    “I will never be shaken.”
7 LORD, when you favored me,
    you made my royal mountain[c] stand firm;
but when you hid your face,
    I was dismayed.
8 To you, LORD, I called;
    to the Lord I cried for mercy:
9 “What is gained if I am silenced,
    if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise you?
    Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
10 Hear, LORD, and be merciful to me;
    LORD, be my help.”
11 You turned my wailing into dancing;
    you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
12 that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent.
    LORD my God, I will praise you forever.
Por favor, medite nesse salmo hoje. Faça uma pequena oração antes de lê-lo. Então, leia-o lentamente, pensando em cada palavra e seu significado. Então, pense na sua vida, no que você tem passado, quantas vitórias e quantas derrotas você tem tido. Quantas noites você passou chorando e orando ao Senhor, e quanto tempo depois suas orações foram atendidas. Agradeça a Ele por tudo.
Salmo 30
Salmo. Cântico para a dedicação do templo[a]. Davídico.
1 Eu te exaltarei, SENHOR,
    pois tu me reergueste
e não deixaste que os meus inimigos
    se divertissem à minha custa.
2 SENHOR meu Deus, a ti clamei por socorro,
e tu me curaste.
3 SENHOR, tiraste-me da sepultura[b];
prestes a descer à cova, devolveste-me à vida.
4 Cantem louvores ao SENHOR,
    vocês, os seus fiéis;
louvem o seu santo nome.
5 Pois a sua ira só dura um instante,
    mas o seu favor dura a vida toda;
o choro pode persistir uma noite,
    mas de manhã irrompe a alegria.
6 Quando me senti seguro, disse:
    Jamais serei abalado!
7 SENHOR, com o teu favor,
    deste-me firmeza e estabilidade;[c]
mas, quando escondeste a tua face,
    fiquei aterrorizado.
8 A ti, SENHOR, clamei,
ao Senhor pedi misericórdia:
9 Se eu morrer[d], se eu descer à cova,
    que vantagem haverá?
Acaso o pó te louvará?
Proclamará a tua fidelidade?
10 Ouve, SENHOR, e tem misericórdia de mim;
    SENHOR, sê tu o meu auxílio.
11 Mudaste o meu pranto em dança,
a minha veste de lamento em veste de alegria,
12 para que o meu coração
    cante louvores a ti e não se cale.
SENHOR, meu Deus,
    eu te darei graças para sempre.

Pointing finger // Apontar o dedo

Recently I was studying the Sermon on the mount in a bible study at the church. It was wonderful to meditate and go deep in these Jesus’ words. So many details we sometimes don’t realize. We are very quick to see the flaws and failures of others. But interestingly the things we see faster in others are probably the things we don’t see or won’t see in ourselves. It is easy to point a finger when someone is, for example, throwing trash on the streets, when one doesn’t even bother to do the same at home. In Brazil, we have this saying “blacksmith’s house, woodpecker.” Who are you to point a finger to anyone when you yourself cannot do better? Your sin is no smaller than his. Jesus said, “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? ( Matthew 7 :3). Look, sawdust is something small, and plank or log is something much bigger than sawdust. Sometimes we are able to see something very insignificant in othe...

Are you lost? // Você está perdido?

Você está perdido? There is always this time in life when we are certain about what to do with our lives. We have a goal, and an objective to reach. However, it is often that life turns the other way around and our plans are made nothing. Frequently I hear people say, “I am lost, I don’t know what to do!” That happens when we put our goals into something that changes. Everything in this world change. You and I are changing by the minute. My thoughts right now are running like crazy, and if I don’t set a goal in something that doesn’t change, I can’t do anything. What is it?   Jesus. The word of God. You might think I am crazy, and lunatic or even a fanatic. But who really knows me, know that I am none of those things. I am a very sensible person who has lived and experienced many things. And I don’t lie. So, if you are experiencing a sense of loss and despair, how about putting your hope in the One who cannot change whatsoever. If you lost...

Come and See + Judge correctly // Venha e Veja + Julgue corretamente

Venha e Veja   Two verses stood out for me this morning. John 7:17-18 and 7:24.   “ Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.   18  Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory, but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.” John 7:24 “ Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.”   That was Jesus talking.  I lately heard that some people with vast knowledge of the Bible (we all want to believe) are being led astray through the vain doctrines of this world. Meaning, that some church leaders or people have earned the people's trust by telling them lies about the teachings of the Bible. People seek their own popularity by agreeing with the lies the world has offered them.  I have seen churches with flags and teaching doctrines that the Bible condemns. They have twisted the ...
