感恩 (4)
聖經閱讀：詩篇107:1-9 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年11月28日(四)

今天是美國的感恩節，很多人會跟家人和朋友團聚，他們會跟詩篇107:1的作者一樣說出：「要感謝上主，因他至善；他的慈愛永遠長存。」 　當那些清教徒慶祝他們的感恩節時，他們會吃像是鴨肉、鹿肉、魚、蛤蜊、莓果、李子，以及南瓜之類東西，也許今天的晚餐你就會吃到其中一些相同的食物。 　當時的清教徒遭遇到許多的困境，但上帝不停地照顧他們、祝福他們，而我們或許也面臨了一些問題，但是當我們懇求上帝幫助我們時，祂將會供應我們的需要。 　無論你是否慶祝感恩節，今天你仍然可以用一些時間，因著上帝賜給你的一切來感謝祂。你可以感謝上帝賜給你家人、賜給你一個家，以及賜給你食物、衣服，尤其最重要的是，要感謝上帝賜給你耶穌，是祂給了我們赦罪和永生的應許。—IMJ 「他們要感謝上主的慈愛，要稱頌他所做的奇事。他使乾渴的人得到滿足，使飢餓的人飽餐美食。」 詩篇107:8-9 禱告：天父，謝謝祢賜下祢的獨生子，耶穌。奉主的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Giving Thanks (4)
Bible Reading: Psalm 107:1-9
Thursday, November 28, 2013

Today is Thanksgiving Day in America. Many people will gather today with their families and friends. They will join with the writer of Psalm 107:1 and say, “Praise the Lord, because he is good! His faithful love will last forever!” 　When the Pilgrims celebrated their day of thanks, they ate foods like duck, venison, fish, clams, berries, plums and pumpkins. Maybe you will eat some of the same foods for your dinner today. 　The Pilgrims faced many difficult situations, but God continued to take care of them and bless them. We, too, may face problems, but when we ask God to help us, He will provide for us. 　Whether you celebrate Thanksgiving Day or not, you can still take time today to thank God for what He has given you. You can thank Him for your family, your home and food, clothing, and most of all, for Jesus who gives us the promise of forgiveness and eternal life. Happy Thanksgiving! —IMJ “Thank the Lord for his faithful love and for the amazing things he does for people. He satisfies those who are thirsty. He fills those who are hungry with good things.” Psalm 107:8-9 PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Son, Jesus. In His name. Amen.
