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 Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
17 But the loving-kindness of Jehovah is from everlasting and to everlasting, upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children,
25 I have been young, and now am old, and I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread:
4 One generation shall laud thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
5 For Jehovah is good; his loving-kindness {endureth} for ever; and his faithfulness from generation to generation.
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 are still vigorous in old age, they are full of sap and green;15 To shew that Jehovah is upright: {he is} my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, {if} it is found in the way of righteousness.
4 Even to old age, I {am} HE, and unto hoary hairs I will carry {you}: It is I that have made, and I will bear, and I will carry, and will deliver.
30 Even the youths shall faint and shall tire, and the young men shall stumble and fall;31 but they that wait upon Jehovah shall renew {their} strength: they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not tire; they shall walk, and not faint.
9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things that thine eyes have seen (and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life; but thou shalt make them known to thy sons and to thy sons' sons),
