感恩節 (2)
聖經閱讀：詩篇107:1-22 現代中譯本|合和本
2012年11月19日(一)

在感恩節這天，很多美國人的家庭都會團聚，吃一頓特別的晚餐。也許我們會準備一些家人最愛吃的食物，而對於吃美食，我從來不會感到厭煩！ 　身為基督徒，我們應該讓心思和意念時常被上帝的話語充滿，而且不會感到厭煩。我們應該渴慕想要更認識上帝、祂的道路、祂的知識，以及祂的智慧。此外，我們也應該很想要跟上帝有更親密的關係。 　今天的經文第9節告訴我們：「他使乾渴的人得到滿足，使飢餓的人飽餐美食。」如果我們熱切想要更認識上帝，祂會教導我們；上帝會幫助我們不斷地成長而且更像耶穌。 　上帝會用什麼方式來滿足我們呢？祂會使用祂的話語（聖經），或者透過其他的基督徒，或者藉著我們的禱告，或者經由生活中的經歷等方式來餵養我們、幫助我們成長。 　今天，就祈求上帝使你得到飽足，而你也要盡情享用祂賞賜給你的靈糧。—GT 「他們要感謝上主的慈愛，要稱頌他所做的奇事。」 詩篇107:8 禱告：上帝，求祢將祢的知識與智慧充滿我。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (CNY譯/台南聖教會英語團契)

Thanksgiving (2)
Bible Reading: Psalm 107:1-22
November 19, 2012

On Thanksgiving Day, many people in America will gather with their families to eat a special dinner. Maybe we will prepare foods that are family favorites. I never get tired of eating my favorite foods! 　As Christians, we should never get tired of having our hearts and minds filled with God’s Word. We should always want to know more about God, His ways, His knowledge and His wisdom. And, we should always want to have a closer relationship with God. 　Verse 9 of our Bible Reading today tells us, “God satisfies the thirsty soul. God fills the hungry soul with good things.” If we want to know more about God, He will teach us. God will help us to continue growing and being more like Jesus. 　How does God satisfy us? He feeds us through His Word, the Bible, through other Christians, through our times of prayer, and through our life experiences. 　Ask God to satisfy you today. Enjoy the spiritual food that He wants to give you. —GT “Thank the Lord for his love, and for the amazing things he does for people.” Psalm 107:8 PRAYER: God, please fill me with Your knowledge and Your wisdom. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
