God of Creation // Deus da Creação



Some days ago, I've read this text and I thought about sharing it with you. I don't know who wrote it, but I got it from a devotional plan of YouVersion app. The name of the plan is God of Creation.

Incredible Creator


Have you ever been stopped in your tracks because you were in awe of the sky? Were you ever filled with amazement and wonder by how something could even exist? If you scroll Instagram and Facebook around sunset you will find so many pictures of the sunset because people find it undeniably beautiful. And as followers of Jesus Christ, we know we have a personal relationship with the Artist behind that beauty!


God is the creator of the heavens and the earth. He is the most magnificent artist, and the sky is just one of His canvases where He displays His beauty. From sunup to sundown, we can see His creativity and greatness.


In Scripture, we see God reveal His immensity by tilting up the heads His people to look up. The heavens, sky, and stars reveal God’s glory. It is so easy to forget and doubt how great and beautiful our God is because we are too focused on what is directly in front of us. God gives us hope through creation, but we have to remember to pause, look, and capture the moment.


Abraham could not fathom how a child, let alone a nation, would be fathered by him. He could not picture what he could not see. He was honest with God and told Him how he doubted the promise. God gave Abraham hope by pointing him to the stars to remind him that God is great, and will do more than we could even imagine.


Questions to Ask Yourself:



How often do you pause, look around, and praise God for His creation?

What are some doubts or fears that you are not admitting to God?


What’s Next?



Pick an evening this week when you can sit alone with God under the sky. Share with Him your fears and doubts. Let Him reveal Himself to you through prayer, His Word, and His world.
Alguns dias atrás, li este texto e pensei em compartilhá-lo com você. Não sei quem o escreveu, mas o obtive de um plano devocional do aplicativo YouVersion. O nome do plano é Deus da Creação.

Criador incrível


Você já foi interrompido por estar admirado com o céu? Você já ficou cheio de espanto e admiração de como alguma coisa poderia existir? Se você rolar o Instagram e o Facebook em torno do pôr do sol, encontrará muitas fotos do pôr do sol, porque as pessoas o consideram inegavelmente bonito. E como seguidores de Jesus Cristo, sabemos que temos um relacionamento pessoal com o Artista por trás dessa beleza!


Deus é o criador dos céus e da terra. Ele é o artista mais magnífico, e o céu é apenas uma de suas telas, onde mostra sua beleza. Do nascer ao pôr do sol, podemos ver Sua criatividade e grandeza.


Nas Escrituras, vemos Deus revelar Sua imensidão, inclinando a cabeça que Seu povo deveria olhar. Os céus, o céu e as estrelas revelam a glória de Deus. É tão fácil esquecer e duvidar da grandeza e beleza de nosso Deus, porque estamos muito focados no que está diretamente à nossa frente. Deus nos dá esperança através da criação, mas precisamos lembrar de fazer uma pausa, olhar e capturar o momento.


Abraão não conseguia entender como uma criança, muito menos uma nação, seria gerada por ele. Ele não conseguia imaginar o que não podia ver. Ele foi honesto com Deus e disse-lhe como duvidava da promessa. Deus deu esperança a Abraão, apontando-o para as estrelas para lembrá-lo de que Deus é grande e fará mais do que poderíamos imaginar.


Perguntas para se questionar a si mesmo:



Quantas vezes você pausa, olha em volta e louva a Deus por Sua criação?

Quais são algumas dúvidas ou medos que você não está admitindo a Deus?


O que vem depois?



Escolha uma noite nesta semana em que possa sentar-se sozinho com Deus sob o céu. Compartilhe com Ele seus medos e dúvidas. Deixe que Ele se revele a você através da oração, Sua Palavra e Seu mundo.

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...
