Thanksgiving Scripture - Nov 06

Thanksgiving Month Introduction...

Psalm 119:57-64
（Memorization Scripture 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.

[Sharing] We give thanks to God for He gives us His word which helps us to know, to turn to and to follow Him. The psalmist rises to give thanks to God merely for receiving His words! How we admire his deep understanding and thirst for God’s words. We experience the blessing and grace of God by following His words. Not only do His words lead our path, but they also set us free from the cords of the wicked. Let us give God thanks for His words, desire His words, be joyful with His words, and obey His commands. And as we do we will find ourselves lost in His immense mercy and love. “If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.” (John 15:10a)

【感恩月簡介】...

詩篇 119:57-64
(背誦經文:62-64)
57 耶和華是我的福分，我曾說，我要遵守你的言語。
58 我一心求過你的恩，願你照你的話憐憫我。
59 我思想我所行的道，就轉步歸向你的法度。
60 我急忙遵守你的命令，並不遲延。
61 惡人的繩索纏繞我，我卻沒有忘記你的律法。
62 我因你公義的典章，半夜必起來稱謝你。
63 凡敬畏你、守你訓詞的人，我都與他做伴。
64 耶和華啊，你的慈愛遍滿大地，求你將你的律例教訓我。

【心得分享】感謝主，祂把祂的話語賜給我們，叫我們可以認識祂、轉向祂、跟隨祂。 詩人因著 神的話稱謝耶和華，讓我們看見詩人對 神的話有何等的認識和體會。因著遵守 神的話，我們可以經歷耶和華是我們的福分和恩典。祂的話不單指引我們前面的道路，也救我們脫離惡人的繩索。讓我們爲著 神的話稱謝祂，以 神的話爲樂、愛慕 神的話、遵行 神的話，以至於沉浸在主那豐滿的慈愛中。「你们若遵守我的命令，就常在我的愛裡。」（約15:10a）
