Give Thanks Because God Speaks to Us (Psalm 119:57-64)
(Memorize verses 62-64)
57 You are my portion, O Lord; I have said that I would keep Your words.
58 I entreated Your favor with my whole heart; Be merciful to me according to Your word.
59 I thought about my ways, And turned my feet to Your testimonies.
60 I made haste, and did not delay To keep Your commandments.
61 The cords of the wicked have bound me, But I have not forgotten Your law.
62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You, Because of Your righteous judgments.
63 I am a companion of all who fear You, And of those who keep Your precepts.
64 The earth, O Lord, is full of Your mercy; Teach me Your statutes.
Reflection:
Thanks be to God, who is a God of revelation and who speaks to us. The heavens declare His glory, and the skies proclaim His handiwork (Psalm 19:1). Moreover, through prophets, the Holy Spirit, and the incarnate Lord Jesus Christ, He has spoken to us, giving us statutes, ordinances, and words of life. His Word not only brings us salvation and life but also sets us apart to share in His glory. As Moses testified, “For what great nation is there that has God so near to it, as the Lord our God is to us, for whatever reason we may call upon Him? And what great nation is there that has such statutes and righteous judgments as are in all this law which I set before you this day?” (Deuteronomy 4:7-8). Lord, since Your statutes and precepts are so precious, let us, like the psalmist, rise to give thanks because of Your words and approach Your Word with humble, longing hearts. May we abide in Your abundant love as we receive and walk in Your Word (John 15:10a).

因著 神是對我們說話的 神而感恩（詩篇119:57-64）
（背誦62-64節）
57 耶和華是我的福分，我曾說，我要遵守祢的言語。
58 我一心求過祢的恩，願祢照祢的話憐憫我。
59 我思想我所行的道，就轉步歸向祢的法度。
60 我急忙遵守祢的命令，並不遲延。
61 惡人的繩索纏繞我，我卻沒有忘記祢的律法。
62 我因祢公義的典章，半夜必起來稱謝祢。
63 凡敬畏祢、守祢訓詞的人，我都與他做伴。
64 耶和華啊，祢的慈愛遍滿大地，求祢將祢的律例教訓我。
【心得分享】
感謝 神，祂是給我們啟示與話語的 神。不僅諸天述說祂的榮耀，穹蒼傳揚祂的手段（詩19:1），祂更是藉著先知、聖靈和道成肉身的主耶穌基督，親自對我們說話，賜給我們律例、典章和話語。祂的話不僅給我們救恩和生命，也將我們分別，與祂的榮耀有份，正如摩西所見證的：「 哪一大國的人有 神與他們相近，像耶和華我們的 神，在我們求告他的時候與我們相近呢？ 又哪一大國有這樣公義的律例、典章，像我今日在你們面前所陳明的這一切律法呢？」（申4:7-8）主啊，既然你的典章、訓詞這樣寶貴，就讓我們也像詩人那樣，常常因你的話語起來稱謝你，並且以更加謙卑、渴慕的心領受和遵行你的話語，以至能常常沉浸在你豐滿的慈愛中（約15:10a）。

2024 Thanksgiving Month Day 5: Give Thanks Because God Is Our Abundant Provider (Psalm 65:9-13)
(Memorize verses 9-11)
9 You visit the earth and water it, You greatly enrich it; The river of God is full of water; You provide their grain, For so You have prepared it.
10 You water its ridges abundantly, You settle its furrows; You make it soft with showers, You bless its growth.
11 You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance.
12 They drop on the pastures of the wilderness, And the little hills rejoice on every side.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing.
【Reflection】
David’s life was filled with many persecutions and trials, yet he deeply experienced God’s deliverance, protection, and provision, continually offering thanks and praise for it. What a precious perspective! In all we see, hear, and need each day, may we recognize and remember God’s mindful provision, enabling us to thank, worship, and trust Him more fully. The Lord is known as “Jehovah Jireh”—He has always provided for us in all things. Not taking His provision lightly helps us to see His faithful work in our lives with a heart of grace and to walk the road of faith, as Abraham did. Through the practice of gratitude, may the Lord help us recognize how richly He has blessed and led us: “You crown the year with Your goodness, and Your paths drip with abundance.”

9 祢眷顧地，降下透雨，使地大得肥美。
神的河滿了水；祢這樣澆灌了地，好為人預備五穀。
10 祢澆透地的溝，潤平脊，降甘霖，使地軟和；
其中發長的，蒙祢賜福。

小山以歡樂束腰；
13 草場以羊群為衣；
谷中也長滿了五穀。
這一切都歡呼歌唱。
【心得分享】 大衛的一生充滿了無數的逼迫患難。同時，他也非常深刻地經歷了 神親自的拯救、保守和供應，並常常以此獻上感謝與讚美。這是何等寶貴的眼光！在一切我們眼見、耳聞和日常吃喝所需中，都看到並記念 神對我們的顧念和供應，就因此能更真實的感謝、敬拜和信靠祂。耶和華是名為「以勒」的 神，祂一直以來在凡事上都供應了我們。不輕看 神對我們的供應，能幫助我們常常以恩典的眼光看到 神在我們生命中信實的工作，並因此能走亞伯拉罕那樣信心的道路。藉著感恩的實行和操練，求主幫助我們都看到祂何等地祝福和帶領了我們一生—「祢以恩典為年歲的冠冕；祢的路徑都滴下脂油」。

2024Thanksgivign Month Day 4: Give Thanks Because God Is Mindful of Us (Psalm 8:1-9)
(Memorize verses 3-9)
1 O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens!
2 Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants, You have ordained strength, Because of Your enemies, That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
4 What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?
5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
6-8 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, All sheep and oxen— Even the beasts of the field, The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That pass through the paths of the seas.
9 O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth!
【Reflection】
We thank our God! He is not only the Creator and Ruler of all but also a God who is “mindful” of us and “visits” us. What gratitude we have that, compared with the heavens and all creation, we alone are made in God’s image and likeness. He has made us “a little lower than the angels” and crowned us with “glory and honor,” entrusting us with dominion over all creation according to His will. Oh Lord, knowing that we are Your unique creation, endowed with a special calling and mission, partaking in Your glory and honor, fills our hearts with joy and delight! Even though we sometimes face physical weakness, the world’s rejection, or the enemy’s attacks, we are reminded that we are Your treasured ones—those You are “mindful” of and “visit.” This lifts our spirits, giving us strength through You. Lord, thank You for Your choosing and forming us, and for establishing strength within our gratitude and praise to overcome every enemy. In all creation, You are so “mindful” of us, and so we declare, “O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, in our lives, how excellent!”
【Reflection】 David's life was filled with numerous persecutions and hardships. At the same time, he also deeply experienced God's personal salvation, preservation, and provision. Therefore, he praised God with a grateful heart, saying, "(He is) the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas." (verse 5) Then, David looked upon the nature created by God, as well as the rain, crops, livestock granted by God... vividly depicting God's grace: "You crown the year with your bounty; your wagon tracks overflow with abundance." (verse 11) Dear brothers and sisters, having experienced the unique circumstances and challenges in the past few years, should we not be more grateful for His preservation and provision, cherish Him even more, and find our true satisfaction in Christ? When we think of God's grace upon us, day after day, year after year, can we not help but accept the psalmist's invitation, together with rivers, paths, wilderness, meadows, hills, flocks, to give thanks to God for His abundant provision and care?

1 耶和華－我們的主啊，祢的名在全地何其美！
祢將祢的榮耀彰顯於天。
2 祢因敵人的緣故，從嬰孩和吃奶的口中，
建立了能力，使仇敵和報仇的閉口無言。
3 我觀看祢指頭所造的天，並祢所陳設的月亮星宿，
4 便說：人算甚麼，祢竟顧念他！世人算甚麼，祢竟眷顧他！
5 祢叫他比天使微小一點，並賜他榮耀、尊貴為冠冕。
6-8 祢派他管理祢手所造的，
使萬物，就是一切的牛羊、田野的獸、空中的鳥、海裏的魚，
凡經行海道的，都服在他的腳下。

2024 Thanksgiving Month Day 3: Give Thanks Because God Is Righteous (Psalm 7:6-11, 17)
(Memorize verses 8-11, 17)
6 Arise, O Lord, in Your anger;
Lift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies;
Rise up for me to the judgment You have commanded!
7 So the congregation of the peoples shall surround You;
For their sakes, therefore, return on high.
8 The Lord shall judge the peoples;
Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness,
And according to my integrity within me.
9 Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end,
But establish the just;
For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.
10 My defense is of God,
Who saves the upright in heart.
11 God is a just judge,
And God is angry with the wicked every day.
...
17 I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness,
And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.
【Reflection】
Today, we especially remember that our God is a “righteous God” and a “righteous Judge.” This righteous, powerful God who judges all is also the God who loves us. He sacrificed His beloved Son, covering all our sins and transgressions with His precious blood, and bore our punishment on the cross, granting us grace to become His children, freely justified by faith. In this dark and rebellious age, He is still on the throne and will surely judge sin, yet He remembers His children, upholding us, being our shield, and defending us against injustice and the enemy. Lord, in every situation, help us to remember that human judgment is nothing; judgment belongs only to You (Deut. 1:17). Help us to live with reverence before You, to pursue and maintain integrity of heart, and let us continually “praise the Lord according to His righteousness, and sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.”
【Reflection】Thank the Lord! Jehovah is not only the "Creator of Heaven and Earth," but also "Our Lord." What is even more amazing is that He "cares for us." Just contemplating on this fact is enough to make our hearts leap for joy! Who are we that God would care for us in this way! God says, "everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made." (Isaiah 43:7) If we fail to grasp this point, we cannot understand why God entrusted us with the mission of stewardship over His creation; nor can we comprehend why, after humanity fell into temptation and followed Satan, God would send His only begotten Son in the likeness of man, willingly sacrificing Himself to accomplish redemption and initiate a new creation! Indeed, the first created man did not fulfill God's entrusted task. However, the last Adam, Jesus Christ, has received honor and glory as His crown (Hebrews 2:9), and all things are under His feet (1 Corinthians 15:27, Ephesians 1:22). Therefore, let us treasure the salvation we receive through faith in Him and be even more grateful for Jesus Christ reigning in our lives, restoring the glorious mission that God had originally bestowed upon us.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
【Reflection】
We give thanks to God, our Shepherd, for we shall not lack. He is our Shepherd, personally leading us along the path of life, where there are green pastures to rest in and still waters to refresh our souls. He revives our souls, bringing us out of darkness into light, guiding us in His paths of righteousness and peace. On this heavenly journey, though there may be valleys of the shadow of death and “enemies all around,” the Lord leads us through safely and victoriously by His presence and power. May we never forget His works and grace along this journey, and may our trust in Him and hope for the future grow continually. Yes, with our Shepherd’s provision, protection, and guidance, no matter how dark or rebellious this age may become, we are confident that the path ahead will grow brighter, and we have great assurance in life. How thankful we are to hold and experience this truth all our days: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want…Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”

2024感恩月Day 2：因著 神是我們的牧者而感恩（詩篇23:1-6）
（背誦1-6）
1 耶和華是我的牧者，我必不致缺乏。
2 祂使我躺臥在青草地上，領我在可安歇的水邊。
3 祂使我的靈魂甦醒，為自己的名引導我走義路。
4 我雖然行過死蔭的幽谷，也不怕遭害，因為祢與我同在，祢的杖、祢的竿都安慰我。
5 在我敵人面前，祢為我擺設筵席，祢用油膏了我的頭，使我的福杯滿溢。
6 我一生一世必有恩惠、慈愛隨著我，我且要住在耶和華的殿中，直到永遠。
【心得分享】感謝 神作我們的牧者，讓我們必不致缺乏。祂是我們的牧者，親自帶領我們走生命的路，其中有可躺臥的青草地，有可安歇的水邊。祂更使我們的靈魂甦醒，帶我們出黑暗入光明，行在祂公義、平安的路上。在這條屬天路途中，雖有死蔭幽谷和「敵雖四佈」，但主都以祂的同在與大能，帶我們平安經過，並且得勝有餘。求主讓我們不忘記祂一路帶領我們的所有作為與恩典，並且不斷加增我們對祂的信靠和對前路的盼望。是的，因有我牧人的供應、保守和帶領，不管當今的世代如何黑暗和悖逆，我們都確信前路會是越走越光明，人生也有大把握。是的，何等感恩，我們一生都可以這樣持守和經歷：「耶和華是我的牧者，我必不致缺乏... 我一生一世必有恩惠、慈愛隨著我，我且要住在耶和華的殿中，直到永遠。」

Thanksgiving Scripture - Nov 1
Thanksgiving Month Introduction...
Annual Bible Reading Plan:
EZK.16
LUK.24
Day 1: Give Thanks Because God Is the Creator
(Psalm 136:1-9)
(Memorization Scripture: vv. 1-3)
1 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy
endures forever.
2 Oh, give thanks to the God of gods! For His mercy endures
forever.
3 Oh, give thanks to the Lord of lords! For His mercy endures
forever:
4 To Him who alone does great wonders, For His mercy endures
forever;
5 To Him who by wisdom made the heavens, For His mercy
endures forever;
6 To Him who laid out the earth above the waters, For His mercy
endures forever;
7 To Him who made great lights, For His mercy endures forever—
8 The sun to rule by day, For His mercy endures forever;
9 The moon and stars to rule by night, For His mercy endures
forever.
【Reflection】Praise and thank our God! This “God of gods,”
“Lord of lords,” the One who alone does great wonders, has
become our God! All His mighty works of creation and acts of
greatness are connected to us because His mercy toward us endures forever! May the Lord, through the Holy Spirit and the
revelation of His Word, deepen our understanding and experience
of God’s faithfulness and mercy this Thanksgiving month,
increasing our gratitude and love for Him. Yes, “God is love,”
and since there is no place where we can hide from His Spirit or
His presence (Psalm 139:7), let us be mindful of His faithfulness
and lovingkindness toward us, thanking and praising Him at all
times and in all places. In this awareness and experience, may our
gratitude no longer stem from mere effort but flow naturally from
our lives—because He is with us, “For His mercy endures forever!”

感謝讚美我們的 神!這位「萬神之神」、「萬主
之主」、「獨行大奇事」的 神,竟然作了我們的 神!
祂一切偉大的創造和作為竟然都和我們發生關係,都是
因著祂對我們的慈愛永遠長存!禱告在今年的感恩月
中,主藉著聖靈和話語的開啟,讓我們更深地認識並進
入 神的信實與慈愛,並讓我們對祂的感謝與愛戴也越
發加增。是的,「神就是愛」,既然在哪裡我們都不能
躲避祂的靈與祂的面(詩 139:7),就讓我們不論是在
何時何地,都能看到並記念祂對我們的信實與慈愛,並
因此無時不刻地感謝、讚美祂。在這樣的看見與經歷
中,讓感恩不再是出於我們的努力,而是成為生命自然
的流露—因祂與我們同在,「祂的慈愛永遠長存!」

Daily Scripture:
Ezekiel 47:9-12
(Memorization Scripture 12)
9 And it shall be that every living thing that moves, wherever the rivers go, will live. There will be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters go there; for they will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river goes....11 But its swamps and marshes will not be healed; they will be given over to salt. 12 Along the bank of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds of trees used for food; their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for medicine.”
【Reflection】Let us all take some time to be still in the presence of the Lord, and with a prayerful heart, read aloud these grateful scriptures. Let's recite them repeatedly until these words, through the Holy Spirit, ignite within us a deep gratitude towards God and let that gratitude overflow within us! These passages proclaim the Lord as the God of gods, the Lord of lords; they mention God's goodness, His marvelous deeds, His wisdom; they ignite our thoughts with His power, His designs, His providence... The central message is for us to give thanks to the Lord, for His steadfast love endures forever! As we enter this month of thanksgiving, let us pray that the Lord, through the Holy Spirit, anoint our eyes, so that we may see (Revelation 3:18) - see that everything and everyone may change, but God remains unchanging, and His steadfast love endures forever. And because of such vision, may we all worship God as God and give Him the gratitude and praise that He deserves.
