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.
Song of a Psalm by David.
For thy testimonies are my meditation,
And thine ordinances are my counselors.
A Psalm of David.
Judge thou, O Lord, them that injure me,
Fight against them that fight against me.
There is a voice of the Lord who divides a flame of fire.
Many say, Who will show us good things?
The light of thy countenance, O Lord, has been manifested toward us.
They have now cast me out and compassed me round about:
They have set their eyes so as to bow them down to the ground.
Give them according to their works,
And according to the wickedness of their devices:
Give them according to the works of their hands;
Render their recompense unto them.
They shall bear thee up on their hands,
Lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Old age is a crown of honor,
But it is found in the ways of righteousness.
Wisdom is an ornament to young men;
And gray hairs are the glory of old men.
but they that wait on God shall renew their strength; they shall put forth new feathers like eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not hunger.
And now the Lord has kept me alive as he said: this is the forty-fifth year since the Lord spoke that word to Moses; and Israel journeyed in the wilderness; and now, behold, I am this day eighty-five years old. I am still strong this day, as when the Lord sent me: just so strong am I now to go out and to come in for war.
The Lord bless thee and keep thee;
The Lord make his face to shine upon thee, and have mercy upon thee;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
