十一月是個非常溫馨的季節,也是SVCA每年的「感恩月」。感謝主!讓我們藉著以下三十天的經文,每日一小段,來提醒我們要常存感謝的心,向 神獻上我們的感恩。今年的感恩經文配合年度的主題:「主的靈在哪裡,那裡就得以自由」(林後 3:17b) 。讓我們藉著這些經文,每天順服聖靈的工作,盼望不論是在我們個人或在團體的生活和事奉中,都能更深、更廣地經歷聖靈大能的釋放、膏抹、醫治、更新,和改變,進而可以活出一個聖靈滿溢,自由豐盛的人生!

November is a very heartwarming season. It is also the “Month of Thanksgiving” here at SVCA. Praise the Lord! Let us offer our thanksgiving to God through these 30 Bible passages - one passage a day. This year’s Thanksgiving Bible passages are inspired by our annual theme - "Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (2 Cor. 3:17b).” Let's submit to the Work of the Holy Spirit through these passages. Let’s experience the mighty power of the Holy Spirit in our corporate service and personal lives. He is able to deliver, anoint, heal, renew, and change us, so that we can live a Spirit-filled life full of freedom and abundance.

Month of Thanksgiving - Day 6

詩篇 100:1-5
1 普天下當向耶和華歡呼! 2 你們當樂意事奉耶和華, 當來向他歌唱! 3 你們當曉得耶和華是神! 我們是他造的, 也是屬他的; 我們是他的民, 也是他草場的羊。 4 當稱謝進入他的門; 當讚美進入他的院。 當感謝他, 稱頌他的名! 5 因為耶和華本為善。 他的慈愛存到永遠; 他的信實直到萬代。

在今天這一段短短的感恩詩篇中,詩人告訴我們為什麼每一次我們來到耶和華 神的面前,我們都應該帶著一個歡喜快樂的態度:因為耶和華是 神,而且祂本為善!

耶和華是 神,因為我們是他造的, 也是屬祂的;而且我們是祂的民, 也是祂草場的羊;
耶和華本為善,因為祂的慈愛存到永遠; 祂的信實直到萬代!

那麼,我們該如何面對這一位本為善的 神呢?詩人告訴我們:

  • 當向耶和華歡呼; 
  • 當樂意事奉耶和華;
  •  當來向他歌唱;
  • 當稱謝進入他的門; 當讚美進入他的院;
  • 當感謝他, 稱頌他的名!
當我們今天主日聚集在 神的家中來敬拜祂的時候,你我是否願意按照聖經的教訓來敬拜這位耶和華 神呢?

Psalm 100:1-5
1 Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! 2 Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. 3 Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. 4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. 5 For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations.

In today's short psalm of thanksgiving, the Psalmist gives us two great truths that why all the believers should approach the Lord with a joyful heart: the Lord is God and He is good.

The Lord is God for He has made us as His people and the sheep of His pasture;
He is good for His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations!

How should we respond to this good God, the Psalmist instructs us to:
  • Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! 
  • Serve the Lord with gladness; 
  • Come before His presence with singing;
  • Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise;
  • Be thankful to Him, and bless His name 
Are you willing to follow the above guidelines to worship this good God today?
