Thanksgiving Scripture - Nov 10

Thanksgiving Month Introduction...

Psalm 32:1-11
（Memorization Scripture 1,5-7）
1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity,
And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 When I kept silent, my bones grew old, Through my groaning all the day long.
4 For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me;
My vitality was turned into the drought of summer. Selah
5 I acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I have not hidden.
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
6 For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You
In a time when You may be found; Surely in a flood of great waters
They shall not come near him.
7 You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble;
You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will guide you with My eye.
9 Do not be like the horse or like the mule, Which have no understanding,
Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, Else they will not come near you.
10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked;
But he who trusts in the Lord, mercy shall surround him.
11 Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous;
And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

【Reflection】"Blessed is the one whose transgressions
are forgiven, whose sins are covered!" (Psalm 32:1) Have you experienced the joy of being completely forgiven by God? Even in the Old Testament era, David saw the truth of the New Covenant. We were all once bound by sin, oppressed by evil, and controlled by our flesh and old selves. However, the Lord Jesus was nailed to the cross for our sins, carrying all our unrighteousness, and bestowing upon us the grace of forgiveness. Now, we can boldly and fearlessly commune with God, no longer under the bondage of sin. This is something we should rejoice and give thanks to God for every day! Do not groan under the burden of sin anymore. Instead, find rest in our God who saves and preserves us! “Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!”

詩篇 32：1-11
(背誦經文:1,5-7)
1 得赦免其過、遮蓋其罪的，這人是有福的！
2 凡心裡沒有詭詐，耶和華不算為有罪的，這人是有福的！
3 我閉口不認罪的時候，因終日唉哼而骨頭枯乾。
4 黑夜白日，祢的手在我身上沉重，我的精液耗盡，如同夏天的乾旱。（細拉）
5 我向祢陳明我的罪，不隱瞞我的惡。
我說「我要向耶和華承認我的過犯」，祢就赦免我的罪惡。（細拉）
6 為此，凡虔誠人都當趁祢可尋找的時候禱告祢，大水泛溢的時候，必不能到祂那裡。
7 祢是我藏身之處，祢必保佑我脫離苦難，以得救的樂歌四面環繞我。（細拉）
8 我要教導你，指示你當行的路，我要定睛在你身上勸誡你。
9 你不可像那無知的騾馬，必用嚼環轡頭勒住牠，不然就不能馴服。
10 惡人必多受苦楚，唯獨倚靠耶和華的，必有慈愛四面環繞他。
11 你們義人應當靠耶和華歡喜快樂，你們心裡正直的人都當歡呼！

【心得分享】「得赦免其過、遮蓋其罪的，這人是有福的！」(1節) 你嘗過被 神完全赦免的喜樂嗎？大衛在舊約時代就看見了新約的真理。 我們都曾經被罪所捆綁，被惡所壓傷，被肉體和老我所轄制。然而主耶穌為我們的罪被釘在十字架上，背負了我們一切的不義。賜下赦免的恩典。如今我們可以坦然無懼地與 神交通，完全不再受罪的轄制，這實在值得我們每天都歡喜快樂地向 神獻上感恩的！不要再在罪的重擔下唉哼了，到拯救並保全我們的 神面前安息吧！你們義人應當靠耶和華歡喜快樂，你們心裡正直的人都當歡呼！
