Title Bible Test

Então o sumo sacerdote Hilquias disse ao secretário Safã: "Encontrei o Livro da Lei no templo do Senhor". Ele o entregou a Safã, que o leu.

2 Reis 22:8

Quando o rei Josias começou a reinar em Israel era apenas uma criança e não conhecia a Lei de Deus. Muitos anos depois, o Livro foi encontrado no templo e apresentado ao rei. Ao ouvir o que dizia, Josias se humilhou e se arrependeu. Decidiu no seu coração cumprir tudo o que estava escrito. A Bíblia nos diz que ele agradou ao Senhor fazendo tudo corretamente.

Quantos de nós também não gostaria de viver retamente agradando ao Senhor?

Diariamente tentamos governar as nossas vidas da melhor maneira mas, sem as referências certas que Deus nos deu na Sua Palavra, isso será impossível. Se não nos interessarmos pela Bíblia, como poderemos Lhe satisfazer? Sem conhecê-Lo pessoalmente?

A história do rei Josias ilustra bem como também nós podemos proceder. Josias não conhecia a Palavra do Senhor, mas quando a encontrou considerou-a valiosa. Ouviu e se arrependeu prontamente. Humilhou-se e a obedeceu.

Tenha um encontro ainda hoje com a Palavra de Deus!

Valorize-a. Invista tempo de qualidade para ler e meditar nela diariamente. Humildemente reflita, se arrependa e obedeça com fidelidade.

Para começar a conhecer mais ainda hoje:

  • Reencontre a Palavra de Deus durante o seu dia.
  • Analise qual o melhor horário do seu dia para dedicar-se à leitura atenta da Bíblia.
  • Desligue-se das distrações! Vá para um lugar tranquilo e desfrute do conhecimento de Deus.
  • Ore e peça a Deus que fale ao seu coração através da Sua Palavra.
  • Faça anotações das passagens, reflexões e descobertas pessoais que fizer na sua leitura.
  • Aplique à sua vida prática tudo que você aprender com a Palavra de Deus.
  • Compartilhe com outros a riqueza desse conhecimento!

Para Orar:

Senhor, obrigado por Te revelares a nós através da Tua Palavra! Ajuda-me a amar e dedicar mais tempo do meu dia para conhecer melhor a Bíblia, lendo, ouvindo, meditando e praticando-a com fidelidade. Tal como o rei Josias, que eu tenha um coração humilde, arrependido e obediente ao Senhor, para estar sempre pronto a cumprir a Tua vontade expressa nas Escrituras. Amém!

Yesterday's Devotional

My grace is sufficient for you...

"But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me."

2 Corinthians 12:9

Grace is God's undeserved favor towards us. This kindness provides those who believe in Jesus with a wonderful, eternal security that is greater than anything we can imagine. The apostle Paul received this word from God when he prayed three times to be healed of an illness, which he called a "thorn in the flesh".

"My grace is sufficient for you!" was the answer he received from the Father. Perhaps he expected immediate healing or recovery, but in this moment, the greatest miracle Paul recognized was that God was taking care of him and strengthening him day by day. No matter what, Christ was present with him!

Often, we can't understand the reason for some of the suffering in our lives. But in these moments we can see how weak, limited, and dependent on the One who created us we are. When all our resources run out, we trust that the Father's strength will be fortify us every day... Amid life's tribulations, He renews your strength! Seek and trust completely in the goodness and mercy of Jesus!

The Comfort of grace during pain

  • Pray and surrender all your "thorns" and suffering to God. He hears you and wants to help you.
  • Trust that God's grace and presence are with you, right now and wherever you go.
  • Praise him! Despite your affliction, believe that in Jesus Christ there is relief from all suffering.
  • Read the Bible and seek to know God better. His Word will increase your faith and renew your hope.
  • Don't lose faith! Seek the Lord! Jesus is your strength, in his presence there is salvation and victory!

Pray:

Lord God, reinvigorate my faith when I go through struggles, pains and afflictions. When my strength is gone, I know that your power remains forever unwavering! Hold my life firm and sustain me, Father. Embrace me and comfort me when everything is too difficult, for I have only You, my God! Shape my life with your will and teach me to trust that your grace is enough for me. In Jesus' name, amen!

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

What is your treasure?

"Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”."
- Acts 3:6

When the apostles were walking towards the temple, they saw a man begging for alms because he was crippled and couldn't work. Faced with such a needy person, being 'empty-handed' wasn't a problem, because the apostles had something more valuable.

Evaluate your life right now, is the most valuable thing something you can hold in your hands? You see, our faith in Christ is the greatest security we can have in life, and it is our path to salvation.

They trusted in the power of Jesus' name, do you trust that Christ's name can meet your needs? Just believe, get up, and go praise the Lord for everything he has already done in your life.

Take your Stretcher and Walk

  • Pray to the Lord for renewed faith.
  • Understand that your most precious possession is spiritual, not physical.
  • Share this immaterial blessing of salvation with your neighbor.

Pray:

Lord, creator of heaven and earth, who healed that crippled man through the power of Jesus' name, I ask you to renew my faith. Help me to believe in your power to change my life. I entrust my needs to you and trust that you can help me. I ask this in the name of Jesus.

How to do your Daily Devotional

Here are some tips for making the most of reading the Bible message during the Daily Devotional:

  1. Set aside a moment and choose a specific place: your devotional time will be more beneficial if you set aside the hustle and bustle and invest in a pleasant time alone with God.
  2. Read the verse or Bible passage attentively: develop a lifestyle committed to the Word of God every day and avoid distractions.
  3. Read the daily meditation: reflect and try to understand God's purpose for your life through the comments.
