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.
Grandchildren are the crown of the aged,
and the glory of a son is his father.
But from everlasting to everlasting
the loving devotion of the LORD
extends to those who fear Him,
and His righteousness to their children’s children —
I once was young and now am old,
yet never have I seen the righteous abandoned
or their children begging for bread.
One generation will commend Your works to the next,
and will proclaim Your mighty acts—
For the LORD is good,
and His loving devotion endures forever;
His faithfulness continues 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.
In old age they will still bear fruit;
healthy and green they will remain,
to proclaim, "The LORD is upright; He is my Rock,
and in Him there is no unrighteousness."
Gray hair is a crown of glory;
it is attained along the path of righteousness.
Even to your old age, I will be the same,
and I will bear you up when you turn gray.
I have made you, and I will carry you;
I will sustain you and deliver you.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall.
But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength;
they will mount up with wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not faint.
Only be on your guard and diligently watch yourselves, so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen, and so that they do not slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and grandchildren.
