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;
the glory of children is their parents.
17 But the LORD’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him,
his righteousness to children’s children,
25 I have been young, and now am old,
yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
nor his children begging for bread.
4 One generation will commend your works to another,
and will declare your mighty acts.
5 For the LORD is good.
His loving kindness endures forever,
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 will still produce fruit in old age.
They will be full of sap and green,
15 to show that the LORD is upright.
He is my rock,
and there is no unrighteousness in him.
31 Grey hair is a crown of glory.
It is attained by a life of righteousness.
4 Even to old age I am he,
and even to grey hairs I will carry you.
I have made, and I will bear.
Yes, I will carry, and will deliver.
30 Even the youths faint and get weary,
and the young men utterly fall;
31 but those who wait for the LORD will renew their strength.
They will mount up with wings like eagles.
They will run, and not be weary.
They will walk, and not faint.
9 Only be careful, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children’s children—
