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.

Solitude and Silence // Solidão e silêncio

  In moments of peace and tranquility, it is useful to remember times of stress and struggle by Thomas à Kempis Whenever you are enjoying some time of peace and rest, it is useful to call to mind those times when you have been busy, overworked, or stressed. Whenever you are enjoying the calmness of solitude and silence, it is useful to reflect on those occasions when you have been assaulted with noise and activity. Indeed, calling such things to mind is a sure and effective way of learning to love and value the peaceful tranquility of your times of solitude! If you reflect upon how easily you can become anxious or worried, or how little it takes to perturb your soul, you will also realize that the achievement of true inner peace is not something which human efforts can ever achieve on their own. Left to yourself, how often you have fallen prey to anxiety, even when there is little or no real need to worry! How often, even when you are surro...

We are the Winners // Nós somos os vencedores

  The death of my cousin made me think about a few things. Yes, it was a sad thing. So unexpected. It got us all by surprise, which hurt. He was such a nice, joyful, and lively guy or man. He will certainly be missed. What we have here but the present. My mom and my other cousin spoke at the funeral. Yes, we have nothing here. It makes no sense at all to get attached to things of this world when at any moment we might leave it. Our days are numbered, but we don’t know how many we were given. How are you living your days? Sometimes we take it for granted because we are young or have health and may think that we have a whole life ahead of us. But do we really? Some live their lives as if all they have to do is party. As if parties were the most important thing in the world. Fun is part of life, so are sadness, problems and relationships, and hard times. Are we going to take something from this world when we die? I am pretty sure we a...

Tear them down // Destrua-os

I like Gideon’s story because I used to use it to justify my lack of faith. Although if I had seen an angel, I probably wouldn’t doubt it. But when hard times come, we tend to be more skeptic because our mindset is: “If the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us?” ( Judges 6 :13) Isn’t that right? However, we usually forget our sins. The idols we have put in our lives, our disobedience. We certainly are not praying as much as we should; we have let other things become a priority. It is not like God is punishing us, they might as well be simply the consequences of our disobedience. Then when God decided to help, He wants to know what is in our heart. So, He demands to tear down all our idols. Are you willing to do that? Your job, your career, your friends, your family, your bank account, your health, the food, the entertainment, and so on.   Make God priority again. Yes, you doubt because you think all your priority was...
