Thanksgiving Scripture - Nov 02

Thanksgiving Month Introduction...

Psalm 23:1-6
（Memorization Scripture 1-6）
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
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】Grateful for the Lord our Shepherd! Because He is our shepherd, we shall not want! Having the Lord is enough, for He is our everything! He leads us on the path of life and guides, nourishes and preserves us through all kinds of trials. When we are hungry and weak, He leads us to green pastures. When we are weary and tired, He leads us to still waters. Though we may walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we can have firsthand knowledge of God in this valley, allowing our experiences with God to transform from "Him" (verses 1-3) to "Us" (verses 4-6). What a great comfort and blessing! Even in the face of our enemies, God Himself prepares a table for us, giving us His victory! "If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31) This is the story of our lives, no matter how difficult the circumstances, how fierce the storms, we follow the Good Shepherd on a path of ever-increasing grace and glory, until the moment we return to our heavenly home! Hallelujah!

【感恩月簡介】...

詩篇 23：1-6
(背誦經文: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】為著耶和華 神是我們的牧者感恩！因著祂是我們的牧者，我們「必」不致缺乏! 有主就夠了，主是我們的一切! 祂帶領我們一生的道路，在各樣的遭遇中都帶領、看顧、供應、保守我們。在我們飢餓無力的時候，祂領我們到豐盛的青草地；在我們疲乏困倦的時候，祂領我們到可安歇的水邊。儘管我們都可能行過死蔭的幽谷，卻能在這谷中對神有第一手的認識-讓我們對 神的經歷都從「祂」(1-3節)變成「祢」(4-6節)，這是何等大的安慰與祝福! 即使面對爭戰 ， 神必親自為我們擺設筵席，讓我們在敵人面前誇勝! 「神若幫助我們，誰能敵擋我們呢？」(羅8:31) 這就是我們一生的寫照，無論環境再困難、風浪再大，我們都跟隨大牧人走在一條恩上加恩、榮上加榮的路上，直到我們回到天家的那一刻! 哈利路亞!
