Aniversário
O aniversário é momento de celebrar a vida que Deus nos deu. A Bíblia nos convida a agradecer por cada dia, contar nossos anos com sabedoria e alegrar-se na bondade do Senhor.
Agradecer pela vida
Este é o dia que o Senhor fez — alegremo-nos! Cada dia é presente de Deus, cada ano é prova da sua fidelidade.
24 This is the day which the Lord hath made: let us be glad and rejoice therein.
1 Alleluia. Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all he hath done for thee.
1 A psalm of a canticle on the sabbath day.2 It is good to give praise to the Lord: and to sing to thy name, O most High.
5 Sing to the Lord, O ye his saints: and give praise to the memory of his holiness.
2 Dearly beloved, concerning all things I make it my prayer that thou mayest proceed prosperously, and fare well as thy soul doth prosperously.
A obra de Deus em nós
Tu me teceste no ventre de minha mãe — maravilhosas são as tuas obras! Cada vida é obra-prima do Criador.
6 By thee have I been confirmed from the womb: from my mother's womb thou art my protector. Of thee shall I continually sing:
10 For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: my hope from the breasts of my mother.
9 He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him.10 For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: my hope from the breasts of my mother.
4 I give thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God that is given you in Christ Jesus,
Oração de bênção
O Senhor te abençoe e te guarde. Tu és toda formosa e em ti não há defeito. Deus cuida de cada detalhe da tua vida.
24 The Lord bless thee, and keep thee.25 The Lord shew his face to thee, and have mercy on thee.26 The Lord turn his countenance to thee, and give thee peace.
7 Thou art all fair, O my love, and there is not a spot in thee.
25 Strength and beauty are her clothing, and she shall laugh in the latter day.26 She hath opened her mouth to wisdom, and the law of clemency is on her tongue.
30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: the woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Old age is a crown of dignity, when it is found in the ways of justice.
3 I give thanks to my God in every remembrance of you,
Sabedoria e alegria
Ensina-nos a contar os nossos dias. Deus encheu nosso cálice de alegria e o seu caminho mostra-se vida em plenitude.
12 can number thy wrath? So make thy right hand known: and men learned in heart, in wisdom.
4 My heart grew hot within me : and in my meditation a fire shall flame out.5 I spoke with my tongue : O Lord, make me know my end. And what is the number of my days : that I may know what is wanting to me.
11 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are delights even to the end.
7 The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.
4 One thing I have asked of the Lord, this will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. That I may see the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple.
6 And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.
1 Hear, O Lord, my prayer: give ear to my supplication in thy truth: hear me in thy justice.2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.
6 We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.7 The Lord fulfil all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers.8 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.
3 I am the Lord that keep it, I will suddenly give it drink: lest any hurt come to it, I keep it night and day.
Proteção e fidelidade
O Senhor pelejará por vós. Fiel é o Senhor que vos guarda — Ele te protege de todo mal o tempo todo.
4 Because the Lord your God is in the midst of you, and will fight for you against your enemies, to deliver you from danger.
3 But God is faithful, who will strengthen and keep you from evil.
14 Now thanks be to God, who always maketh us to triumph in Christ Jesus, and manifesteth the odour of his knowledge by us in every place.
7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.
45 And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.
