獻上感恩

獻上感恩
聖經閱讀：詩篇9:1-10
2012年9月3日(一)

時常向上帝獻上感謝是好的，我們有太多可以感恩的事了。我們應該在早上醒來時就開始感謝上帝，然後持續不斷地感謝祂，直到晚上閉上眼睛為止。 上帝給了這麼多我們原本不配得到的祝福──早晨美麗的日出、漫天紅霞的日落、剛出生的寶寶、或是引導人愛上帝、服事上帝。我們工作賺錢來買食物、買房子、買車子和其他的財產，但是，工作的力量和能力卻是上帝賜給我們的。 經文閱讀的第一節說：「上帝啊，我要一心頌讚你；我要宣揚你一切奇妙的作為。」這節經文提醒我們要去告訴別人上帝為我們所做的事，尤其要跟我們的兒女分享這些事，並且教導他們感恩。 今天，要感謝上帝為你所做的事，並且用你的一生來讚美祂、服事祂。—MP 「 我要因你歡樂歌唱；我要頌讚你至高的尊名。」詩篇9:2 禱告：上帝，我要讚美並且感謝祢在每一天所賜給我的祝福。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (SSL譯/台南聖教會英語團契)

Give Thanks
Bible Reading: Psalm 9:1-10
Monday, September 3, 2012

It is good to give thanks to God all the time. We have so much that we can be thankful for. We should start thanking God when we wake up in the morning. And we should continue to thank Him until we close our eyes at night. God has given us so many blessings that we don’t deserve — the beauty of a morning sunrise, a golden sunset, a new baby or leading someone to love and serve God. We work to earn money to buy food, homes, cars and other possessions. But God gave us the strength and ability to do our jobs. Verse 1 of our Bible Reading says, “I praise the Lord with all my heart. Lord, I will tell about all the wonderful things you did.” This verse reminds us to tell other people what God has done for us. It is especially important that we share this with our children and teach them to be thankful. Be thankful today for what God has done for you. Praise Him and serve Him all your life. —MP “You make me so very happy. God Most-High I praise your name.” Psalm 9:2 PRAYER: God, we praise You and thank You for all the blessings that You give to us each day. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
