慶賀上帝！

慶賀上帝！
聖經閱讀：撒母耳記下6:12-19 現代中譯本|合和本

美國人很喜歡慶祝！我們會慶祝生日、週年紀念，以及很多其他特別的節日，我們甚至慶祝四月的愚人節！ 　你可曾想過要慶賀上帝呢？今天的經文告訴我們大衛如何頌讚上帝。上帝曾經幫助大衛將祂的約櫃運回耶路撒冷，第14和15節說：「大衛只在腰間圍著一件麻紗以弗得，盡情跳舞，榮耀上主。他和所有的以色列人歡呼吹號，把上主的約櫃運到耶路撒冷。」 　今天你可以慶賀上帝！想一想上帝曾經用很多方式來幫助你，並賜給你所祈求的東西。也許你可將這些都寫下來好幫助你記得。就邀請一些信主的朋友到你家，一起跳舞和歡唱吧！並且跟他們分享上帝為你所成就的事。 　今天，就用一些時間來慶賀上帝！ —GT * 「所有義人都要向上主歡呼；所有正直的人都要頌讚他。要向他唱新歌；要熟練地彈，高聲地唱。」 詩篇33:1,3 禱告：上帝，今天我願頌揚祢的恩惠。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (姜冠群譯)

Celebrate God!
Bible Reading: 2 Samuel 6:12-19
Thursday, November 14, 2013

People in the United States love to celebrate! We celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and many other special holidays. We even celebrate April Fool’s Day! 　Have you ever thought about celebrating God? Our Bible Reading tells us how David celebrated God. God had helped bring His Holy Box back to the city of Jerusalem. Verses 14 and 15 say, “David was dancing in front of the Lord. He was wearing a linen ephod. David and the Israelites were excited — they shouted and blew the trumpet as they brought the Lord’s Holy Box into the city.” 　You can celebrate God today! Think about the many ways that God has helped you or given you what you prayed for. Maybe you can write them down to help you remember. Invite some Christian friends to your house. Dance and sing! Share about what God has done for you. 　Take time to celebrate God today! —GT “Rejoice in the Lord, good people! It is only right for good people to praise him. Sing a new song to him. Play it well and sing it loud!” Psalm 33:1,3 PRAYER: God, I want to celebrate Your goodness today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
