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 Sons of sons [are] the crown of old men, and the glory of sons [are] their fathers.
17 But the mercy of the LORD [is] from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, and His righteousness [is] to sons of sons;
25 I have been young, and am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, or his seed begging bread.
4 One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts.
5 For the LORD [is] good; His mercy [is] everlasting; and His truth [endures] 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 fat and flowering;15 to show that the LORD [is] upright; [He is] my rock, and no unrighteousness [is] in Him.
31 The gray head [is] a crown of glory, [if] it is found in the way of righteousness.
4 [even] to old age I [am] He; and to gray hairs I will bear [you]. I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver [you].
30 Even the young shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall;31 but those who wait on the 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 yourself and keep your soul carefully, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. But teach them to your sons, and your sons' sons.
