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; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
1 Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High:
2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
5 For his anger is but for a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may tarry for the night, but joy cometh in the morning.
2 Beloved, I pray that in all things thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
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.
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: wonderful are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My frame was not hidden from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see mine unperfect substance, and in thy book were all my members written, which day by day were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: wonderful are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My frame was not hidden from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see mine unperfect substance, and in thy book were all my members written, which day by day were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
6 By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother’s bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.
10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother’s belly.
9 But thou art he that took me out the womb: thou didst make me trust when I was upon my mother’s breasts.
10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother’s belly.
4 I thank my God always concerning you, for the grace of God which was 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 make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
7 Thou art all fair, my love; and there is no spot in thee.
25 Strength and dignity are her clothing; and she laugheth at the time to come. 26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and the law of kindness is on her tongue.
30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, it shall be found in the way of righteousness.
3 I thank my God upon all my 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 So teach us to number our days, that we may get us an heart of wisdom.
4 LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; let me know how frail I am.
5 Behold, thou hast made my days as handbreadths; and mine age is as nothing before thee: surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. Selah
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; in thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than they have when their corn and their wine are increased.
4 One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
1 Blessed be the LORD my rock, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
2 My lovingkindness, and my fortress, my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
6 Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he wilt answer him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will make mention of the name of the LORD our God.
8 They are bowed down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
3 I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will 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 for the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and guard you from the evil one.
14 But thanks be unto God, which always leadeth us in triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest through us the savour of his knowledge in every place.
7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith:
45 And blessed is she that believed; for there shall be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord.
