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.

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...

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 ...

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...
