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.

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...

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...

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 ...
