Aniversário de idoso
O aniversário de um idoso é celebração de uma vida longa e cheia de experiências com Deus. A Bíblia honra os cabelos brancos como coroa de glória e prova da fidelidade divina.
The Lord Rescues People from Many Troubles.
O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His compassion and lovingkindness endure forever!
This [day in which God has saved me] is the day which the Lord has made;
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
The Lord, a Provider and the One Who Rescues Me.
I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
The Lord is my strength and my [impenetrable] shield;
My heart trusts [with unwavering confidence] in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I shall thank Him and praise Him.
You have put joy in my heart,
More than [others know] when their wheat and new wine have yielded abundantly.
You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore. [Acts 2:25-28, 31]
One thing I have asked of the Lord, and that I will seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life,
To gaze upon the beauty [the delightful loveliness and majestic grandeur] of the Lord
And to meditate in His temple. [Ps 16:11; 18:6; 65:4; Luke 2:37]
So teach us to number our days,
That we may cultivate and bring to You a heart of wisdom.
The silver-haired head is a crown of splendor and glory;
It is found in the way of righteousness. [Prov 20:29]
The glory of young men is their [physical] strength,
And the honor of aged men is their gray head [representing wisdom and experience].
But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him]
Will gain new strength and renew their power;
They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun];
They will run and not become weary,
They will walk and not grow tired. [Heb 12:1-3]
And now, look, the Lord has let me live, just as He said, these forty-five years since the Lord spoke this word to Moses, when Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, look at me, I am eighty-five years old today. I am still as strong today as I was the day Moses sent me; as my strength was then, so is my strength now, for war and for going out and coming in.
The Lord bless you, and keep you [protect you, sustain you, and guard you];
The Lord make His face shine upon you [with favor],
And be gracious to you [surrounding you with lovingkindness];
The Lord lift up His countenance (face) upon you [with divine approval],
And give you peace [a tranquil heart and life].’
Beloved, I pray that in every way you may succeed and prosper and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually].
