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...

All Magic comes with a price // Toda mágica tem um preço

  How to Recognize Foolishness and Pursue Wisdom A devotional reflection on humility, discernment, and the cost of our choices Opening Scripture “Do not be wise in your own eyes.” — Proverbs 3:7 Devotional Reading A fool is not the same as an insane person. In my understanding, an insane person is unable to reason clearly; things may not make sense in their mind. A fool, however, is someone who rejects counsel, ignores warnings, disobeys what is right, and acts from wrong motivations. If a person does the wrong thing for the right reason, we may still be able to understand the motive. But foolishness is different: it is often rooted in ignorance, arrogance, and a narrow mind that refuses wisdom. How can we recognize a wise person? In my understanding, a wise person does not act impulsively. This person does not need to suffer through every mistake in order to learn, because wisdom can also come from observing the experiences of ot...

Doubts and fears leave us halfway // Dúvidas e medos nos deixam na metade do caminho

  Despite all the sad news I got this week, we are still standing. I am in the Book of Joshua, in my annual Bible reading. There is a part in the book that is kind of boring. It is the distribution of the cities and borders. It is tempting to skip this part, but something that I heard from the guy from the Bible Project usually says, “it is wisdom literature”, or “meditation literature”. There is something important besides geographical information in these texts. And there is. Joshua 17:18c “though the Canaanites have chariots fitted with iron and though they are strong, you can drive them out”. In the beginning of the book and several other parts too, the LORD says to Joshua, “Be strong and courageous”. What does that mean? What is this book really about? Well, the way I see it might not be the same way you see it. The way I see this book is about how we trust God and obey Him. Then we will see Him doing amazing things. It doesn’t matter how n...
