Dia dos avós
Os avós são tesouros vivos de sabedoria e fé. A Bíblia honra os mais velhos e celebra a transmissão de fé entre gerações — dos avós aos netos e destes aos que virão.
A bênção dos avós
A coroa dos velhos são os filhos dos filhos. A misericórdia de Deus é de geração em geração sobre os que o temem.
6 Son's sons are the crown of old men, and the glory of sons are their fathers.
17 But the loving kindness of LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear him, and his righteousness to son's sons,
25 I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen a righteous man forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
4 One generation shall laud thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
5 For LORD is good. His loving kindness [is] forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
Força e fidelidade
Mesmo na velhice darão frutos. Os cabelos brancos são coroa de glória. Deus não abandona seus filhos na idade avançada.
14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age. They shall be full of sap and green15 to show that LORD is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
31 The hoary head is a crown of glory. It shall be found in the way of righteousness.
4 And even to old age I am he, and even to hoar hairs I will carry [you]. I have made, and I will bear, yea, I will carry, and will deliver.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall.31 But those who wait for LORD shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run, and not be weary. They shall walk, and not faint.
9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes saw, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life, but make them known to thy sons and thy son's sons--
