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.

Can you choose to be   Joyful? (Full of joy) Peaceful? (full of peace) Patient? (full of patience) Kind? (full of kindness) Good? (full of goodness) Faithful? (full of faith) Gentle? (full of gentleness) Generous? (full of generosity) Self-controlled? (totally self-controlled) Can you choose to be like that all the time? To everyone?   What other religion would promise you that? I am not saying that all Christians are like that all the time. No, we are not, unfortunately. However, we are prone to be more successful than others, do you know why?  When Jesus was lifted to the heavens after his resurrection, he promised that a few days later, His Spirit would come to live in us. The Holy Spirit is our helper. When we live a godly life, a prayer life, and are filled with the Holy Spirit, those are the characteristics that should be seen in us—if not all of them, at least most of them.  Would you like to live like that? To treat people like that? Well, I suppose so. ...

My take on these stories // Minha opinião nessas histórias

The 2 Samuel 9 and 10 are about David’s kindness toward others. One person received his kindness humbly, knowing that wasn’t expected from that king in particular. Saul was the first king of Israel and did not obey the word of the LORD. Therefore, the kingdom was taken away from him and his lineage. God announced to Saul that he was going to give the kingdom to someone else. Being David. Because David was not a descendant of Saul, once he started reigning, it was expected that the new king, non-descendant of the former, would kill all the former king’s descendants so no one would stand in the line of succession. Bu David did not do that. Instead, he chose to show kindness toward the last person from Saul’s house.  Saul’s grandson accepted David’s kindness. And we have a beautiful story about grace.  Chapter 10, however, tells a different story. A story of a man who didn’t accept David’s kindness because that was what he was. A person who suspected everyone around him. He ...

Arise and eat // Levante e coma

  He came to a broom bush, sat under it, and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough,  Lord ,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.”   5 Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep. All at once, an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.”   6 He looked around, and there by his head was some bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again. 7 The angel of the  Lord  came back a second time and touched him and said, “Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.”   8 So he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God. (1 Kings 19: 4-8) How many times have you wished that this life were over? I have wished that many times. Sometimes it is just too painful, or sad, or hopeless, isn’t it? You know, Elijah...
