39:1 Cap. 37 - Credincios in cele mai mici lucruri 39:2 "Cine este credincios in cele mai mici lucruri, este credincios si in cele mari." 39:3 O atentie constiincioasa cu privire la ceea ce lumea numeste "lucruri marunte" face din viata un succes. Mici acte de caritate, de lepadare de sine, a spune cuvinte simple de incurajare, a veghea impotriva micilor pacate - acesta este crestinismul. O recunoastere plina de multumire a binecuvantarilor zilnice, o imbunatatire inteleapta a oportunitatilor zilnice, o dezvoltare sarguincioasa a talentelor incredintate - la aceasta ne cheama Stapanul. 39:4 Cel care si-a indeplinit cu credinciosie micile obligatii va fi pregatit sa raspunda unor responsabilitati mai mari. Omul care este amabil si curtenitor in viata de zi cu zi, care este generos si rabdator in familia sa, al carui scop permanent este sa-si faca un camin fericit va fi primul care se va nega pe sine si va face sacrificiile pe care Stapanul le cere. 39:5 Un caracter bine echilibrat 39:6 Putem fi dornici sa dam proprietatea noastra pentru cauza lui Dumnezeu, dar aceasta nu va conta decat daca-I dam, de asemenea, o inima plina de recunostinta si dragoste. Cei care vor fi adevarati misionari in campuri straine trebuie sa fie mai intai adevarati misionari in camin. Cei care doresc sa lucreze in via Stapanului trebuie sa se pregateasca pentru aceasta printr-o cultivare atenta a micilor loturi de vie pe care El li le-a incredintat. 39:7 "Un om este asa cum gandeste in inima sa." Multe ganduri fac istoria nescrisa a unei singure zile; si aceste ganduri au mult de a face cu formarea caracterului. Gandurile noastre trebuie pazite cu strictete, pentru ca un singur gand necurat face o impresie adanca asupra sufletului. Un gand rau lasa o impresie rea asupra mintii. Omului i-ar face bine sa nutreasca ganduri curate si sfinte. Prin ele, pulsul spiritual este accelerat si puterea de a face bine este imbogatita. Si asa cum un strop de ploaie pregateste calea pentru altul in udarea pamantului, la fel un gand bun pregateste calea pentru altul. 39:8 Cea mai lunga calatorie este realizata pas cu pas. Printr-o succesiune de pasi ajungem la capatul drumului. Cel mai lung lant este compus din verigi separate. Daca una din aceste verigi este necorespunzatoare, intregul lant este fara valoare. La fel este si caracterul. Un caracter bine echilibrat este format din fapte independente, aduse la indeplinire cu bine. Un singur defect cultivat, in loc sa fie invins, il face pe om imperfect si inchide in fata lui portile cetatii sfinte. Cel care intra in cer trebuie sa aiba un caracter fara pata, zbarcitura sau orice altceva de acest fel. Esecurile si murdariile nu vor intra acolo. In toata ostirea celor rascumparati, nu va fi vazut nici un defect. 39:9 Credinciosie in viata de zi cu zi 39:10 Lucrarea lui Dumnezeu este perfecta ca intreg, pentru ca este perfecta in fiecare parte, oricat de mica. El modeleaza fiecare fir de iarba cu aceeasi grija cu care creat lumea. Daca dorim sa fim desavarsiti, asa cum Tatal nostru din cer este desavarsit, 39:11 trebuie sa fim credinciosi in indeplinirea lucrurilor mici; astfel ca ceea ce facem macar sa facem bine. Oricare ar fi munca voastra, faceti-o cu credinciosie. Spuneti adevarul cu privire la lucrurile mici. In fiecare zi, faceti fapte de iubire si rostiti cuvinte de imbarbatare. Presarati zambete de-a lungul cararii vietii. Daca lucrati astfel, Dumnezeu va plasa aprobarea Lui asupra voastra si Hristos va va spune intr-o zi: "Bine, rob bun si credincios." 39:12 In ziua judecatii, cei care au fost credinciosi in viata de fiecare zi, care au dat zor in lucrul lor, fara sa se gandeasca la lauda si profit, vor auzi aceste cuvinte: "Atunci Imparatul va zice celor de la dreapta Lui: "Veniti binecuvantatii Tatalui Meu de mosteniti Imparatia, care v-a fost pregatita de la intemeierea lumii." Hristos nu-i lauda pentru elocventa oratorica, pentru puterea intelectuala pe care au etalat-o sau pentru donatiile pe care le-au facut. I-a laudat pentru implinirea lucrurilor mici, care sunt de obicei uitate. "Caci am fost flamant si Mi-ati dat de man-cat", spune El. "Ori de cate ori ati facut aceste lucruri unuia din acesti foarte neinsemnati frati ai Mei, Mie mi le-ati facut." - YI, 17 ianuarie 1901 |

Special note for ANDROID SmartPhones
I recommend to download PhoneMe emulator for Android from here.
Especially I recommend phoneME Advanced - Foundation Profile + MIDP High Resolution b168 rev20547 from here, or from here.
Then you have to build your application, to transfer the .jar and .jad files on your mobile phone and run using this nice emulator.
1. Install a Zip Utility from Android Market.
2. Install a File Manager from Android Market.
3. Download and install PhoneMe, as mentioned above.
4. Build your application by using Download Multilingual Service or Dynamic Download (zip).
5. Copy the zip file into your Android Phone and unzip the content in a folder, and then write down the path to the unzipped files and the name of the .jad file.
6. Launch PhoneMe from your smartphone.
7. Inside PhoneMe, write to the main window the path and the name to the .jad file, above mentioned. Will look something like: file:///mnt/sd/download/BiblePhone.jad and then press enter.
8. The application will be installed, and next a hyperlink will be available below the above mentioned textbox. On this way you can install as many of MIDP application you like on your Android Phone.
How to install the application in Java Mobile enabled phones
It is possible now to have the Holy Scriptures on your mobile phone and to read
it wherever you are due to the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP)
technology in 1.0 and 2.0 versions, developed for Java applications.
A good advice is to try in the beginning the MIDP 1.0 / 128 Kbytes version, and
progressively to advance to MIDP 2.0 and larger volumes (512 Kbytes or more).
The application is available for MIDP 2.0, MIDP 1.0. You have only to select one
table on the field MIDP2.0 or MIDP1.0, according to the desired Bible version.
Then, you shall make a click on the JAR (Java Archive) file in order to obtain
the software to be installed on your mobile phone.
I recommend you to start with STARTER(MIDP1.0old) edition, then to continue with
INTERMEDIATE(MIDP1.0), and in the end, if the mobile phone supports this thing,
to try to install the ADVANCED (MIDP2.0) edition. Also, start with 128 kbytes
volumes, continue with 512 kbytes, and at the end try the version in one file.
There are cases where the mobile phone requires so called JAD (Java Descriptor)
files. These JAD files has to be
uploaded, on this case, together with the desired JAR files(s).
There are different methods to download the applications in your mobile phone as
follows:
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
5. If none from the above cases are valid
Next, we shall examine each case in order to have a successfully installation of
the software.
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
If your have Internet access on your mobile phone (e.g. WAP or GPRS), it is
enough to access
https://biblephone.intercer.net/wap/ from the browser of the mobile phone,
and to access the desired Bible version, and then to make an option about
MIDP1.0 or MIDP2.0, and finally to select the desired module (e.g. one or more).
After the last selection, the desired version will be downloaded on your mobile
phone.
Many phones have only this option for installing JAVA appplications.
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
If you don't have access to Internet directly from your mobile phone, then you
shall have to pass to this step requiring to have infrared ports on your mobile
phone and on the computer.
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to activate the infrared port on the mobile phone and align it with the infrared
port of the computer (preferable laptop).
c. Then a window will appear asking what file you want to send to the mobile
phone. Next, you will select the downloaded JAR file, and after OK, the mobile
phone will ask you if you want to load that file. You say YES and the
application will be downloaded on your mobile phone.
d. Probably, you will be asked by the mobile phone where you want to save it (e.g.
on the games or applications directories). After you made this selection, the
file will be ready to be loaded for run.
The displaying preference can be set inside the application in order to have
larger fonts, full screen display etc.
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
This situation is similar with the infrared case. You have only to activate
Bluetooth access on your mobile phone (check if exists) and on the computer (check
if exists).
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific
mobile phones.
On this case the steps are as follows:
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to set up the wired connection between the mobile phone and the computer. Next,
you will start the synchronization / data transfer application and download the
JAR file in your mobile phone. Surely, you will have to consult the CD of your
mobile phone.
c. By this application you shall transfer into your mobile phone the JAR file in
the games or applications directories. Next, you will have to select for run the
JAR desired file.
5. If none from the above cases are valid
On this unhappy case, I recommend you to find a friend with a laptop having
infrared / Bluetooth capabilities, or to buy a data link cable, or to change
your current model of mobile phone.
Unfortunately, some models of mobile phones require only WAP/GPRS in order to
download and run Java applications.
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones. Therefore check the documentation of them and also the page for specific
models.
Why so many versions? Simple, because not all the mobile phones support the
Bible in one file with MIDP 2.0 (the most advanced for the time being).
Multilingual Online Ebooks
