Pensamento:
Achamos alegria no Senhor, não em coisas. Achamos alegria ao saber que ele sempre nos acompanha, sustém, ajuda, protege e defende. Como poderia não regozijar? Deus me ama tanto que esvaziou o céu do seu maior tesouro para que eu pudesse estar com ele em glória. Alegria é minha por causa da graça dele.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
True and lasting joy is found in the Lord, not in temporary things, momentary achievements, or fleeting riches. True joy, abiding joy, unconquerable joy is found in knowing that God always accompanies, sustains, helps, protects, and upholds us, and then one day will come to include us in his forever home with him. How can we not rejoice? God loves us so much that he emptied heaven of his greatest treasure so that we can join him in glory and in never-ending joy. How can we be so sure of all of this? We remember the empty tomb, our risen Savior, and the Lord's disciples who met the risen Jesus and "disbelieved for joy" (Luke 24:41-43). That disbelief, however, was swallowed up in unstoppable joy as Jesus ate some fish in front of them as they marveled at their resurrected Savior.
Oração:
Precioso Pai, obrigado por sempre estar presente e saber o que está no meu coração e se preocupar comigo em maneiras que nem posso imaginar. Anseio te conhecer face a faze e compartilhar na alegria infinita do céu contigo. Até aquela hora, verdadeiramente me regozijo porque seu que o meu futuro está nas suas mãos! Obrigado no nome de Jesus Cristo meu Senhor. Amém. || Veja a imagem especial em 1200x800: http://www.iluminalma.com/img/il_filipenses4_4.html
My Prayer...
Precious Father, thank you for always being there for us, with us, and in us. You know what is on our hearts before the words are on our tongues. You care for us in ways we cannot begin to imagine. We long to know you and see you face to face and share in the unbridled joy of heaven with you. Until then, we truly rejoice because we know our future is in your hands! Thank you; we rejoice in the name of Jesus Christ, our risen and victorious Lord. Amen.
