Devocional diário | Deus e Eu - As Bem Aventuranças da nação que escolheu ao Senhor!

📝📗✝️🛐👩‍❤️‍👨🇧🇷🇧🇻🇺🇾🛐 The Blessings of the Nation That Chose the Lord! Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance. Psalm 33:12 It seems that choosing God as your own, for many, is simply being born into a Christian home, going to church, or participating in a religion. But it goes far beyond that; it involves personal, intimate choices, where our works manifest divine attitudes within us. Look what the prophet Jeremiah says: But if you truly amend your ways and your doings, if you truly execute justice between a man and his neighbor, If you do not oppress the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place, nor walk after other gods to your own harm, Jeremiah 7:5-6 Blessed is the nation God is the Lord, and the people whom he has chosen for his inheritance. Psalm 33:12 Egypt rejected God as Lord: Many centuries ago, Egypt was the cradle of arts and culture. It had its iron chariots, its cities with hundreds of gates. They had despised the God of the nations; they had forgotten his principles, and the punishment was fatal to them. Greece rejected God as Lord: Next comes Greece, with a culture such that it made the homes of its people worthy of the gods they worshipped; Their sculptors and philosophers were men of merit. If culture and refinement could perpetuate a nation and guard it from decadence, then Greece would never have fallen. Rome rejected God as Lord: Then came Rome, with an iron foot, crushing nations. Its soldiers, crossing the Alps and the Pyrenees, changed the destinies of Europe – they even penetrated Africa with the sword, being stopped only by the sands of the Sahara Desert. Israel rejected God as Lord: What a dangerous remedy to combat a moral malady of a people! It was not necessary to be a prophet to predict the tragic end of a nation in such conditions. And alongside these great nations, Egypt, Greece, and Rome, the Hebrew people wrote their history in letters of blood. Finally defeated, crushed, and subjugated, Israel witnessed the outcome of its tragedy, being scattered to the four corners of the earth! What is the essence of this message? True Happiness and Prosperity: Reflects the idea that a society or nation finds peace, justice, and true happiness when its fundamental values ​​and leadership align with divine principles. Dependence on God: Reminds us that the strength of a people does not reside in their military power or material wealth, but rather in the protection and wisdom of the Creator. Choice and Purpose: Highlights that those who recognize the Lord as sovereign enjoy His care and guidance for their lives. We must pray for the Brazilian nation; which has placed idols, sculpted images, unjust judges, politicians, men and women in the place of the Lord! When will we be? Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, and the people he chose for his inheritance.
