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 Hallelujah. 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 declare Thy lovingkindness in the morning, and Thy faithfulness in the night seasons,
5 For His anger is but for a moment, His favour is for a life-time; weeping may tarry for the night, but joy cometh in the morning.
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 made my reins; Thou hast knit me together 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 unformed substance, and in Thy book they were all written--even the days that were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.17 How weighty also are Thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them!
13 For Thou hast made my reins; Thou hast knit me together 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 unformed substance, and in Thy book they were all written--even the days that were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
6 Upon Thee have I stayed myself from birth; Thou art He that took me out of my mother's womb; my praise is continually of Thee.
10 Upon Thee I have been cast from my birth; Thou art my God from my mother's womb.
9 For Thou art He that took me out of the womb; Thou madest me trust when I was upon my mother's breasts.10 Upon Thee I have been cast from my birth; Thou art my God from my mother's womb.
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 Grace 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 is found in the way of righteousness.
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 a heart of wisdom.
4 'LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; let me know how short-lived I am.5 Behold, Thou hast made my days as hand-breadths; and mine age is as nothing before Thee; surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. Selah
11 Thou makest me to know the path of life; in Thy presence is fulness of joy, in Thy right hand bliss for evermore.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than when their corn and their wine increase.
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 graciousness of the LORD, and to visit early in His temple.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
1 A Psalm of David. Blessed be the LORD my Rock, who traineth my hands for war, and my fingers for battle;2 My lovingkindness, and my fortress, my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and He in whom I take refuge; who subdueth my people under me.
6 Now know I that the LORD saveth His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the mighty acts of His saving 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 guard it, I water it every moment; lest Mine anger visit it, I guard 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.'
