My strength // Minha força

Tradução: (frase)Eu sinto como se eu já estivesse cansada amanhã.(desenho da mulher de roxo) Inquebrável.

The day started slow, slower than usual. Although I’m not telling you this so you can pity me, every once in a while, anybody can have a slow/bad day and feel the way I felt.  How did I feel? I felt like I had no strength left in my body, my heart was heavy. I knew that in a few hours it would pass. It wouldn’t last.  Still, this is no way of waking up. When you sleep, you are supposed to rest your body not feel weaker or more tired. This is my daily lot. Some days are better, but not always. I knelt to pray, and immediately came to my mind this Psalms:
  • I love you Lord, my strength (Psalm 18:1)
  • My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever (Psalm 73:26)
  • The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and He helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song, I praise Him (Psalm 28:7)
  • He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youth grow tired and weary; and young men stumble and fall (Isaiah 40:29 – 30)


I could go on. Today I prayed like that “You Lord is my strength”.
It is good to know that when you feel weak tired or even with no motivation to keep going, be certain, that you will find comfort in His word.
“I can do all this, through Him who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13)

I said to myself today “I can do it. I can get up. I can read. I find my strength not within me (because most days there is none) but in Him. He is the one with who I stand tall every day.

If I can, so can you. There will be days when you will feel down, weak, sad, hopeless. Take heart, Jesus is asking you, “What can I do for you today?”

Let’s pray: Lord, give me strength when I feel I have none. Hold my hand and come with me through this valley I may be in, I can’t do it alone. You are my refuge, my strength, my vision. Stay with me, by my side, all the way. Let me feel your presence, your peace, your strength. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

O dia começou devagar, mais lento que o habitual. Embora eu não esteja dizendo isso para que você possa ter pena de mim, de vez em quando, qualquer pessoa pode ter um dia lento / ruim e sentir como eu me sentia. Como eu me senti? Eu senti como se não tivesse força no meu corpo, meu coração estava pesado. Eu sabia que em poucas horas passaria. Não duraria. Ainda assim, isso não é maneira de acordar. Quando você dorme, você deve descansar seu corpo não se sentir mais fraco ou mais cansado. Este é meu lote diário. Alguns dias são melhores, mas nem sempre.
Ajoelhei-me para orar, e imediatamente veio à minha mente este Salmos:
  • Eu te amo Senhor, minha força (Salmos 18: 1)
  • Minha carne e meu coração podem falhar, mas Deus é a força do meu coração e minha porção para sempre (Salmos 73:26)
  • O Senhor é minha força e meu escudo; meu coração confia nele e me ajuda. Meu coração salta de alegria e, com minha canção, eu O louvo (Salmos 28: 7)
  • Ele dá força ao cansado e aumenta o poder do fraco. Até os jovens ficam cansados e fatigados; e os jovens tropeçam e caem (Isaías 40:29 - 30)


Eu poderia continuar. Hoje eu orei assim: “Tu és a minha força”.
É bom saber que quando você se sentir cansado, fatigado ou mesmo sem motivação para continuar, esteja certo de que encontrará conforto em Sua palavra.
“Tudo posso naquele que me fortalece” (Filipenses 4:13).

Eu disse a mim mesmo hoje: “Eu posso fazer isso. Eu posso levantar. Eu consigo ler. Eu não encontro a minha força dentro de mim (porque na maioria dos dias não há nenhum), mas nele. Ele é aquele com quem eu me ergo todos os dias.

Se eu puder, você também pode. Haverá dias em que você se sentirá fraco, triste, sem esperança. Tome coragem, Jesus está perguntando a você: "O que posso fazer por você hoje?"

Vamos orar: Senhor, me dê força quando sinto que não tenho nenhuma. Segure minha mão e venha comigo através deste vale em que eu possa estar, eu não posso fazer isso sozinho. Você é meu refúgio, minha força, minha visão. Fique comigo, do meu lado, todo o caminho. Deixe-me sentir sua presença, sua paz, sua força. Em nome de Jesus, amém.

Choose to be full of...// Escolha ser cheio de...

Can you choose to be   Joyful? (Full of joy) Peaceful? (full of peace) Patient? (full of patience) Kind? (full of kindness) Good? (full of goodness) Faithful? (full of faith) Gentle? (full of gentleness) Generous? (full of generosity) Self-controlled? (totally self-controlled) Can you choose to be like that all the time? To everyone?   What other religion would promise you that? I am not saying that all Christians are like that all the time. No, we are not, unfortunately. However, we are prone to be more successful than others, do you know why?  When Jesus was lifted to the heavens after his resurrection, he promised that a few days later, His Spirit would come to live in us. The Holy Spirit is our helper. When we live a godly life, a prayer life, and are filled with the Holy Spirit, those are the characteristics that should be seen in us—if not all of them, at least most of them.  Would you like to live like that? To treat people like that? Well, I suppose so. ...

My take on these stories // Minha opinião nessas histórias

The 2 Samuel 9 and 10 are about David’s kindness toward others. One person received his kindness humbly, knowing that wasn’t expected from that king in particular. Saul was the first king of Israel and did not obey the word of the LORD. Therefore, the kingdom was taken away from him and his lineage. God announced to Saul that he was going to give the kingdom to someone else. Being David. Because David was not a descendant of Saul, once he started reigning, it was expected that the new king, non-descendant of the former, would kill all the former king’s descendants so no one would stand in the line of succession. Bu David did not do that. Instead, he chose to show kindness toward the last person from Saul’s house.  Saul’s grandson accepted David’s kindness. And we have a beautiful story about grace.  Chapter 10, however, tells a different story. A story of a man who didn’t accept David’s kindness because that was what he was. A person who suspected everyone around him. He ...

Arise and eat // Levante e coma

  He came to a broom bush, sat under it, and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough,  Lord ,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.”   5 Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep. All at once, an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.”   6 He looked around, and there by his head was some bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again. 7 The angel of the  Lord  came back a second time and touched him and said, “Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.”   8 So he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God. (1 Kings 19: 4-8) How many times have you wished that this life were over? I have wished that many times. Sometimes it is just too painful, or sad, or hopeless, isn’t it? You know, Elijah...
