1. Ephesians 3:20
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.
Ephesians 3:20
Reflections on Ephesians 3:20
Can you imagine what God has already prepared for you? Do you have any idea of the blessings and deliverances we have received from the Lord? Even if we try to comprehend it, God has done - and is doing - infinitely more than we can imagine.
Even when we ask God for something, He always does more! He is a God of abundance and kindness. If you have asked God for something, keep believing, create expectation in your heart, because if it is His will, He will surprise you!
God is powerful to do infinitely more than we ask or think!
2. Psalm 119:11
I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you.Psalm 119:11
Reflections on Psalm 119:11
What do you keep inside your heart? What is in your heart is reflected in your attitudes, your thoughts and your words. By keeping the Word of the Lord within your being, you will act in a way that pleases God and experience His will.
So examine the books you read, the movies you watch, the conversations with your friends and the thoughts that fill your mind. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you and give you the wisdom to choose what strengthens your relationship with God.
Do you want to overcome sin in your life? Do you want to live a righteous life before God in order to glorify Him at all times? Put the Word of God in your heart! Read the Bible, meditate on it and see how your life begins to look more and more like the life of Jesus.
3. Romans 8:38-39
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39
Reflections on Romans 8:38-39
There is absolutely nothing that can separate you from God's love. It's a wonderful truth that fills your heart with peace and security. In a world so full of uncertainty, betrayal and pain, you can trust that God will always be by your side and that he will never stop loving you.
God has already demonstrated the greatest proof of his love for you! He gave you his Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross. When you accepted Jesus as your Savior, you became a recipient of this promise in Romans 8:38-39. It's true that God hasn't promised a life free of difficulties, but you can be sure that His love and presence will accompany you in any situation.
Praise God today and thank him for his infinite love for you. Rejoice in the certainty of the Lord's presence and care for you every day of your life.
4. Habakkuk 2:1
I will stand at my watch
and station myself on the ramparts;
I will look to see what he will say to me,
and what answer I am to give to this complaint.Habakkuk 2:1
Reflections on Habakkuk 2:1
Are you anxious for your prayers to be answered? The prophet Habakkuk raised some questions before the Lord. There were situations that he couldn't understand, so he sought God to present his questions. However, it's not just about going your own way. Habakkuk remained alert like a good watchman, certain that God would answer his pleas.
Do you stand before God with that same certainty? Take your questions to God and he will direct you according to his will. What changes can you make in your day, or week, to have a warm time with the Lord?
Yes, God answers your prayers. He always has and will continue to do so. But when you spend more time with Him and are more attentive to His voice, you will experience more peace. Your spirit will be strengthened and you will be able to face life's challenges in a different way, holding the hand of your beloved Savior.
5. Isaiah 54:17
no weapon forged against you will prevail,
and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
and this is their vindication from me,”
declares the Lord.Isaiah 54:17
Reflections on Isaiah 54:17
Are there people who plot evil against you or tell lies about you? Do you feel that they are attacking you from all sides? If you are a servant of the Lord, you know that justice comes from him and you can be sure that he will fight for you. We often think that we can't wait any longer, that we need God's intervention immediately. But God knows the best time and the best way to show His justice.
Wait on the Lord. Trust in the inheritance promised to you as a servant of God. Stand firm in faith and cling to God. Remember what Psalm 27:13-14 says:
13 I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.Psalm 27:13-14
6. Psalm 40:1
I waited patiently for the Lord;
he turned to me and heard my cry.Psalm 40:1
Reflections on Psalm 40:1
Have you put all your hope in God? I'm sure that sometimes it's not easy for you to wait for the Lord to answer your request. Can you think of times when you decided to act on your own instead of waiting for God's? It's not the best idea. When you wait on God, you receive the best, what is within your will. By waiting on him, well-being will come to you because his ways are much wiser and better.
This verse gives us a very tender image of God. The Lord bowed down and heard their cry. Imagine a mother or father bending down to listen to their beloved baby. He draws near because he is interested in hearing and understanding what is happening to his children, what is troubling their hearts.
In the same way, God approaches you as a loving Father. He is not a distant God, He is close to you at all times. God hears your words and hears your cry. Talk to Him! Don't forget that you can trust him to act at the right time, because he loves you and cares about you. Never stop putting your hope in God.
7. Psalm 97:1
The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad;
let the distant shores rejoice.Psalm 97:1
Reflections on Psalm 97:1
How beautiful it is to praise God and recognize his greatness! In this verse, the psalmist declares the reality of the Kingdom of God, of his Lord, and he calls on creation to rejoice. We are part of creation and we must rejoice with it because God reigns. Like the psalmist, we must proclaim that the Lord is God.
I'm sure that things you can't understand are happening all around you. At times, evil may seem to predominate. Always remember that God reigns. The Lord Jesus is in control of everything that happens and knows why things happen. The fact that God reigns should fill your heart with joy. If you've read the whole Bible, you know that the end is written: God wins! He is the winner and will reign for all eternity.
A New Heaven and a New Earth
21 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
Revelations 21:1-3
3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.
Revelations 22:3-5
8. Psalm 40:5
Many, Lord my God,
are the wonders you have done,
the things you planned for us.
None can compare with you;
were I to speak and tell of your deeds,
they would be too many to declare.Psalm 40:5
Reflections on Psalm 40:5
How many blessings God gives us! Have you ever tried to list everything God has done for you? The list would be very long and you would certainly keep on finding more blessings to add. God is the great blesser. He has given you life, your family, your friends, the nature that surrounds you, your brothers and sisters in Christ. Above all, God has given you the blessing of knowing him and receiving forgiveness for your sins.
With God you have the certainty of eternal life. You know that any suffering, sickness or problems you have in your earthly life will come to an end. But your life with Him is forever, it will last for all eternity. That is the greatest blessing! Thank God for all his goodness to you and live each day happily in the security of his presence and forgiveness.
9. Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7
Reflexão sobre Philippians 4:7
The peace that God gives us is not the same peace that the world offers. God's peace surpasses our understanding and refreshes our soul, even in the midst of tribulation.
It's not the peace of TV commercials that we need, but the peace of mind that only God can give. With God's presence in our hearts, we have the peace of mind to take the right course of action and the understanding to turn away from what distances us from him.
May the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, be upon you!
10. Galatians 5:25
Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
Galatians 5:25
Reflections on Galatians 5:25
Yes, if we live by the Spirit, let's also walk by the Spirit. In our lives we should walk the talk!.. This is not an imposition, but a personal initiative. What's the point of talking about the things of the Word and not living the Word?!
If we don't walk in the way of the Lord, we are deceiving ourselves. If we see the target, let's go for it without deviating to the right or the left. Walk by the Spirit and feed on the Word that gives life.
11. Revelations 21:4
‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.
Revelations 21:4
Reflections on Revelations 21:4
Life after death is more than just a comfort, it's a reality. God worked in Christ Jesus to make it possible for you to have access to a perfect reality, without sin, error, pain or anything that hurts us.
For some, this is inconceivable, it would be a boring reality, without pleasure. But they only say this because they only know a life of sin. God planned from the foundation of the world that his creatures would enjoy his presence eternally, and so we will.
12. Matthew 28:20
and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Matthew 28:20
Reflections on Matthew 28:20
Jesus will always be with us, no matter what happens. He ascended into heaven, sat on his throne and reigns over all, but that doesn't make him distant from us, quite the opposite. His sovereignty over all things was won on the Cross, because the Father gave it to him.
This doesn't mean that Jesus has abandoned us, nor that we should now turn away until he returns. But that at every moment of our Christian journey, the same Jesus who walked in Galilee healing and teaching is with us in our hearts, through the Holy Spirit.
13. 1 Corinthians 15:20
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.
1 Corinthians 15:20
Reflections on 1 Corinthians 15:20
Yes, there is more to life than this. When Jesus rose from the dead, he opened a way for all of us to rise too. This next life will be very different. We will have a glorified body, and we will no longer sin against God or our neighbor.
Yes, we will be free from the curse of sin. Every temptation will be in the past. We will do everything the right way, the way God intended.
14. Psalm 73:26
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
Psalm 73:26
Reflections on Psalm 73:26
God is our strength and our wealth. In this psalm, the author declares how he was tempted by the wicked. When he looked at them, he saw health, prosperity, wealth in abundance... He even considered that his faith wasn't worth it.
Until he entered God's sanctuary. There he was able to see that the way of the wicked leads to perdition. Open your eyes and see correctly. God is your satisfaction. Trust, for in him you will find true prosperity, a wealth that is not lost and is for eternity.
