A prayer



Our Father, who art in heaven

Hallowed be thy name

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done

On earth as it is in heaven

Give us this day our daily bread

Forgive our debts as we forgive our debtors

Lead us not into temptation, but

Deliver us from evil.

Amen

Lord, come and fill my heart with your joy

Show me the way we should go

Sometimes it is like we are in the desert, we look around, we see nothing, no one.

We know that You are with us always

We need your guidance. Your Word is our compass

Lead us by the still waters, restore our souls

Lead us in the path of righteousness, for your name’s sake.

Lord, sometimes we see only darkness, but you are our Shepherd, you guide us. You are the light on our ways, enlighten us.

Take us by the hand. We feel weak, but your Word says that when we are weak, we are strong. Teach us how. We depend on you.

Our pleasure is to be in your house, at your feet, in your presence. Come, Lord, deliver us from the evil one. Those who want to take us down, to humiliate us. Strengthen our minds. Shield us with your Word. Help to keep our eyes fixed on you.

Surely, goodness and mercy will follow us all the days of our lives

This is my petition, that we dwell in your house forever.

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...

Pequenas grandes mentiras // Big little lies

Quantos de nós já fomos pegos de surpresa nas mentiras de alguém? Você gostou? Como você se sentiu? E que tal do outro lado da mesa, você já foi pego na mentira? Qual foi sua reação? O que aconteceu com esse relacionamento? Valeu a pena? Você por acaso acredita que existem “pequenas mentiras”, “mentiras brancas”, “foi para o seu bem”. Deixa-me te dizer uma coisa: mentira não tem tamanho. O que tem tamanho é o estrago que ela faz. Mentira é mentira em qualquer lugar em qualquer momento. E vai causar um prejuízo em você e no outro. Então, quando você pensa no tamanho das suas mentiras, você realmente acha que vai funcionar? Que ninguém vai descobrir nunca? Eu digo a você, alguém vai saber e vai voltar para te morder a língua.  Mais cedo ou mais tarde. Os primeiros capítulos de Provérbios, Salomão está nos chamando para buscar sabedoria. Por que? Porque vale a pena e é honrável. O título do capítulo 8 diz: As bênçãos da sabedoria. E nos versos 4 -14 diz: 4 "A ...

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...
