41:1 Cap. 39 - Seriozitatea telului 41:2 Cei patru tineri evrei, cand primeau educatie la curtea regelui, in Babilon, nu au considerat ca binecuvantarea lui Dumnezeu inlocuia efortul sustinut ce se cerea de la ei. Ei erau silitori la studiu, pentru ca realizau ca, prin harul lui Dumnezeu, soarta lor depindea de propria lor vointa si actiune. Ei trebuiau sa-si demonstreze intreaga abilitate la lucru si, printr-o stransa si severa sfortare a puterilor lor, trebuiau sa foloseasca cea mai mare parte a ocaziilor lor pentru studiu si munca. 41:3 Cooperarea cu Dumnezeu 41:4 In timp ce acesti tineri lucrau pentru propria lor salvare, Dumnezeu lucra in ei, ca sa faca totul cu placere si pentru El. Aici sunt relevate conditiile succesului. Pentru a putea avea harul lui Dumnezeu, trebuie sa ne indeplinim partea. Domnul nu Si-a propus sa faca in locul nostru nici vointa, nici infaptuirea. Harul Sau este dat sa lucreze in noi vointa si infaptuirea, dar niciodata ca un inlocuitor pentru efortul nostru. Sufletele noastre trebuie trezite pentru a coopera. Spiritul Sfant lucreaza in noi pentru a putea sa ne lucram propria salvare. Aceasta este lectia practica pe care Spiritul Sfant Se straduieste sa ne invete. "Caci Dumnezeu este Acela care lucreaza in voi, si va da, dupa placerea Lui, si vointa si infaptuirea." 41:5 Dumnezeu va coopera cu toti cei ce se straduiesc cu staruinta sa fie credinciosi in slujba Sa, asa cum a colaborat cu Daniel si cu cei trei tovarasi ai sai. Calitatile mintale nobile si un nivel inalt de moralitate a caracterului 41:6 nu sunt rezultatul unui accident. Dumnezeu creeaza oportunitati, succesul depinde de modul in care sunt valorificate. Ocaziile oferite de Providenta trebuie sa fie observate imediat si apoi folosite de graba. Sunt multi care pot deveni oameni puternici, daca, asemenea lui Daniel, vor depinde de harul lui Dumnezeu pentru a fi invingatori si a-si face lucrarea cu putere si eficienta. 41:7 Serviciu din toata inima 41:8 Ma adresez tie, tinere: Fii credincios. Pune inima in lucrarea ta. Nu-i imita pe cei ce au un ritm incet si care ofera servicii impartite. Faptele, repetate ades, formeaza obiceiurile, iar acestea, caracterul. Cu rabdare indeplineste micile obligatii cotidiene. Atata timp cat subestimezi importanta micilor datorii, formarea caracterului tau va fi nesatisfacatoare. In fata celui Atotputernic, fiecare datorie este importanta. Domnul spune: "Cine este credincios in cele mai mici lucruri, este credincios si in cele mari; si cine este nedrept in cele mai mici lucruri, este nedrept si in cele mari." In viata unui adevarat crestin, nu exista lucruri neesentiale. 41:9 Multi dintre cei ce sunt crestini lucreaza cu Hristos la telul crucii. Multi asteapta ca o lucrare mareata sa le fie adusa. Zilnic pierd ocazii de a-si demonstra credinciosia fata de Dumnezeu; zilnic esueaza in a pune tot sufletul pentru indeplinirea micilor obligatii ale vietii, care lor li se par neinteresante. In timp ce asteapta o lucrare mareata in care sa poata sa-si exercite presupusele lor talente iesite din comun si astfel sa-si satisfaca ambitiile lor nesaturate, viata lor se scurge. 41:10 Dragii mei prieteni tineri, faceti lucrarea care va este la indemana. Indreptati-va atentia spre 41:11 lucrurile umile, care necesita efortul pe care-l puteti face. Puneti inima si suflet pentru a face aceasta lucrare. Struniti-va gandurile sa actioneze inteligent cu privire la lucrurile pe care le puteti face acasa. Astfel veti deveni potriviti pentru o mai mare utilitate. Amintiti-va ce se spunea despre regele Ezechia: "A lucrat cu toata inima, si a izbutit in tot ce a facut"... 41:12 Valoarea concentrarii 41:13 Capacitatea de a-ti fixa gandurile pe lucrarea din mainile tale este o binecuvantare. Tinerii tematori de Dumnezeu ar trebui sa se straduiasca sa-si indeplineasca datoriile cu consideratie, pastrand gandurile pe fagasul corect si facand ce este mai bine. Ei ar trebui sa realizeze care sunt obligatiile prezente si sa le indeplineasca, fara a permite mintii sa hoinareasca. Acest fel de disciplina mintala va fi de ajutor si benefica in viata. Cei care invata sa gandeasca in legatura cu tot ce intreprind, oricat de mica ar parea lucrarea, vor fi de folos in lume. 41:14 Dragi tineri, fiti staruitori, fiti perseverenti. "De aceea, incingeti-va coapsele mintii voastre. Comportati-va ca Daniel, evreul, care si-a propus sa-I fie credincios lui Dumnezeu. Nu va dezamagiti parintii si prietenii. Si mai este Cineva care nu trebuie uitat. Nu-L dezamagiti pe Cel care v-a iubit atat de mult, incat Si-a dat viata ca sa faca posibila o cooperare intre voi si Dumnezeu. 41:15 Cea mai inalta motivatie 41:16 Dorinta de a-L onora pe Dumnezeu ar trebui sa fie cea mai puternica motivatie. Ar trebui sa ne determine sa imbunatatim privilegiile si oportunitatile 41:17 care ne sunt oferite, asa ca ar trebui sa intelegem cum sa folosim cu intelepciune bunurile lui Dumnezeu. Ar trebui sa ne conduca sa ne pastram creierul, oasele, muschii si nervii in cea mai buna conditie de sanatate, pentru ca puterea psihica si claritatea mintala sa ne faca slujitori credinciosi. Interesul egoist, daca i se da voie sa se dezvolte, piperniceste mintea si impietreste inima. Daca-i ingaduim sa ne controleze, ne distruge puterea morala. Apoi urmeaza dezamagirea... 41:18 Adevaratul succes este dat barbatilor si femeilor de catre acelasi Dumnezeu care i-a dat succes lui Daniel. Cel care a citit in inima lui Daniel, a privit cu placere asupra puritatii motivatiei slujitorului Sau, asupra hotararii de a-L onora pe Dumnezeu. Cei care indeplinesc in viata lor scopul lui Dumnezeu trebuie sa depuna un efort dureros si staruitor straduindu-se sa indeplineasca orice le va da El sa faca. - YI, 20 august 1903 41:19 _________ 41:20 Bucuria trainica 41:21 Pe tot parcursul drumului prapastios, care duce spre viata vesnica, sunt izvoare de bucurie pentru a-l inviora pe cel istovit. Aceia care umbla in caile intelepciunii, chiar in vremuri de stramtorare, se bucura peste masura, pentru ca Cel pe care Il iubeste sufletul lor merge, nevazut, alaturi de ei. Pe masura ce inainteaza, ei vad si mai lamurit atingerea mainii Sale; la fiecare pas, raze si mai stralucitoare de slava de la Cel nevazut le lumineaza calea; iar cantarile lor de lauda, din ce in ce mai puternice, se inalta spre a se alatura melodiilor ingerilor dinaintea tronului. - MB 140 |

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
