Amanhã, 23 de outubro, é o Sábado da Criação. Com isso, o pastor Ted Wilson o convida a dar uma olhada em nossos materiais disponíveis em sabado.origens.org. A criação é um tópico crucial encontrado em várias passagens da Bíblia. Salmo 95:1-7 diz: "Vinde, cantemos ao SENHOR, com júbilo, celebremos o Rochedo da nossa salvação. Saiamos ao seu encontro, com ações de graças, vitoriemo-lo com salmos." O Salmo continua, "Porque o SENHOR é o Deus supremo e o grande Rei acima de todos os deuses. Nas suas mãos estão as profundezas da terra, e as alturas dos montes lhe pertencem. Dele é o mar, pois ele o fez; obra de suas mãos, os continentes." "Vinde, adoremos e prostremo-nos; ajoelhemos diante do SENHOR, que nos criou. Ele é o nosso Deus, e nós, povo do seu pasto e ovelhas de sua mão." Deus quer que nos lembremos de que Ele é nosso Criador e de que pertencemos a Ele. Esta verdade é evidente no coração das três mensagens angélicas encontradas em Apocalipse 14:6-7. Os versos dizem: "Vi outro anjo voando pelo meio do céu, tendo um evangelho eterno para pregar aos que se assentam sobre a terra, e a cada nação, e tribo, e língua, e povo, dizendo, em grande voz: Temei a Deus e dai-lhe glória, pois é chegada a hora do seu juízo; e adorai aquele que fez o céu, e a terra, e o mar, e as fontes das águas." Observe que a criação e a adoração estão ligadas nesses dois versículos – devemos adorar a Deus, nosso Criador. Isso ecoa o quarto mandamento em Êxodo 20:11, que diz: "porque, em seis dias, fez o SENHOR os céus e a terra, o mar e tudo o que neles há e, ao sétimo dia, descansou; por isso, o SENHOR abençoou o dia de sábado e o santificou." Na verdade, a criação e a adoração estão intimamente relacionadas. Eles vêm juntos no selo de criação e redenção de Deus, o Sábado. Como Ellen White comenta no livro Conselhos Sobre Mordomia, página 39: "O sétimo dia é o sábado do Senhor teu Deus.” Não tem o homem o direito nem poder para substituir o sétimo dia pelo primeiro. Poderá pretender fazê-lo, “todavia o fundamento de Deus fica firme”. Os costumes e ensinos dos homens não diminuirão as exigências da lei divina. Deus santificou o sétimo dia. Essa porção específica de tempo, separada pelo próprio Deus para culto religioso, continua hoje tão sagrada como quando pela primeira vez foi santificada pelo nosso Criador." Que Deus o abençoe neste Sábado da Criação ao você encontrar descanso Nele. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Kt7joidgKw

Monday: Love Stranger
Amid these admonitions Moses declares: “Indeed heaven and the highest heavens belong to the LORD your God, also the earth with all that is in it” (Deuteronomy 10:14). What a powerful expression of the sovereignty of the Lord, an idea found in other places in the Bible, as well: “The earth is the LORD’S, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein” (Psalm 24:1).
Read Deuteronomy 10:17-19. What other declaration does Moses make about the Lord here, as well? Even more important, what does God command from His people as a result of that declaration?

Yahweh is not only the sovereign of heaven and earth, He is also the “God of gods, and Lord of lords” (Deuteronomy 10:17). This doesn’t mean that there are other gods, lesser gods, such as the supposed gods the pagans around them worshiped. Rather, it is a way of talking about, more than just His being the only God (“Now see that I, even I, am He, and there is no God besides Me” [Deuteronomy 32:39]), it asserts His total supremacy over all other powers, real or imagined, either in heaven or on earth.
The text says, too, that He is “the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe.” All of this is part of the bigger message: Yahweh is your God, and you, His people, need to obey Him.
What a powerful contrast is being presented here, as well. Yes, Yahweh is the God of gods and Lord of Lords, the Sovereign ruler and sustainer of the creation ( Colossians 1.16-17), but He also cares about the fatherless, the widow, and the stranger, and He shows that care by ministering to their immediate physical needs. The God who takes note if a sparrow falls to the ground (Matthew 10:29) knows about the plight of those on the margins of society. In other words, the Lord is telling the people that, OK, maybe you are chosen, you are special, and I love you, but I love others, too, including the needy and helpless among you. And just as I love them, you must love them, as well. This is one of your covenant obligations, and an important one, too.
| Read Psalm 146:5-10. What is the message of the Psalm that reflects what God is saying here, and what should this mean to us today, as Christians? |
Amen!

5: The Stranger in Your Gates – Singing with Inspiration
Flipping through the new quarterly, there are a number of titles that have the word ‘love’ in them – Love, to Be Loved; To Love God; He First Loved Us; To Love the Lord Your God; to name just a few. Hence, I believe a wonderful hymn to devote to as a theme will be
Hymn 349 – God Is Love. Our first Memory Text says “for God is Love”, 1 John 4:8. As the book of Deuteronomy is the book of the covenant, it would also be good to add
Hymn 347 – Built On the Rock as verse four tells us of God ‘Making with us His covenant”.
Oh the joy of being able to have the Everlasting Covenant which we find in
Hymn 469 – Leaning On The Everlasting Arms of our Lord Jesus.
To help all the strangers, people we do not know, we find advice in
Hymn 584 – There’s a Spirit in the Air. We will be able to sing
Hymn 400 – I Come With Joy in which we read that “strangers now are friends.”
On Wednesday we are reminded of the weak and the poor for whom we are minister –
Hymn 373 – Seeking the Lost reflects this. We are to
Take Time to Be Holy – Hymn 500 to “Help those who are weak” (verse 1).
To encourage us to “grow in kindness to the weakest and most marginalized” (Thursday),
Hymn 414 – Fruitful Trees the Spirit’s Sowing will give us some ideas.
We are bound for The Promised Land! Hallelujah!! Come, Lord Jesus come – very soon.
Blessings for a wonderful week ahead.
To learn unknown hymns, you will find the accompaniment music for each one at: https://sdahymnals.com/Hymnal/
Another great resource is for when there is a hymn you wish to sing, but can’t find it in your hymnal. Go to https://www.sdahymnal.org and in the search bar type a special word in that is in the hymn. I am sure you will be amazed at the help you will be given.
2 Timothy 2:15 KJV – “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
Amen!(0)
