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.

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...

No "trouble-free" card for you // Nenhum cartão "livre-de-problemas" para você

  The Word of the Lord is beautiful and true. In there, you find so many poems. This is the form the Bible authors chose to communicate the Word of the LORD, and it is profound. I’ve been listening to the Bible Project podcast for more than a year now. Lately, they are covering the theme of “The Wilderness”. Now, everywhere I read in the Scripture, I see something related to it. It is amazing. I am now in the book of the prophet Isaiah, chapter 43. And guess what? It is wonderful. Just in the first few verses, you find that God is telling His people that it doesn’t matter what sort of hardship they are going through, He, the Creator, will deliver them. Actually, it is said like this: “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior....

The oppressive urge to speak // A necessidade opressiva de falar

  Should I keep quiet forever? Is silence that bad? Can’t I stand my own thoughts that I need to say out loud? What kind of thoughts come to my mind? Are they generally good or bad? If I choose to speak up, to whom would it benefit? If anyone ever. Let me be clear: It is better not to say a word than say words that will do more harm than good. What if it is the truth? I ask, why would you say it? How would you say it? The truth will come out eventually. You don’t need to lie or be rude. What we must do is to be kind. If I tell you the truth in a harsh way, will you accept, or will you only hear the harsh sound of my voice and ignore completely what I was trying to say? Sometimes, not even the kindest words won’t make it through because the listener isn’t listening at all. The listener doesn’t care about your opinion, doesn’t care about others. The listener just cares about himself. The listener just wants to say w...
