2024 Thanksgiving Month Day 10:
Give Thanks for God’s Lifelong Grace (Psalm 30:1-5)
(Memorize verses 4-5)
1 I will extol You, O Lord, for You have lifted me up, And have not let my foes rejoice over me.
2 O Lord my God, I cried out to You, And You healed me.
3 O Lord, You brought my soul up from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4 Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.
5 For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.

Reflection:
David wrote Psalm 30 as a song of dedication, possibly for his own palace, with deep gratitude for God’s lifelong grace toward him and His people. In this joyful, glorious moment, David reflected on God’s unchanging love and eternal grace. Though he had endured valleys of enemy oppression, weariness, illness, and even the pain of his soul nearing the grave, God “lifted,” “healed,” and “rescued” him. With these experiences in mind, he encouraged all of God’s saints to rise and give thanks and praise to Him, “For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” Amen! May this psalm inspire us all to see every season through the lens of God’s lifelong grace. Even in trials, let us hold to the promise that “weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning,” knowing He will “turn my mourning into dancing; He has put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness” (Psalm 30:11), that we may give thanks to His holy name.

2024感恩月Day 10：
因 神一生之久的恩典稱謝（詩篇30:1-5）
(背誦4-5節)
1 耶和華啊，我要尊崇你，因為你曾提拔我，不叫仇敵向我誇耀。
2 耶和華我的 神啊，我曾呼求你，你醫治了我。
3 耶和華啊，你曾把我的靈魂從陰間救上來，使我存活，不至於下坑。
4 耶和華的聖民哪，你們要歌頌祂，稱讚祂可記念的聖名。
5 因為祂的怒氣不過是轉眼之間，祂的恩典乃是一生之久，一宿雖然有哭泣，早晨便必歡呼。

【心得分享】大衛在獻殿（肯能指自己的宮殿）的時候，做了詩篇30篇這首詩歌，特別記念和感謝 神對自己和祂子民一生之久的恩典。在這樣一個喜樂、榮耀的時刻，他更深切地看到了 神不變的慈愛和永遠的恩典。雖然他曾經歷被仇敵圍困的低谷、疲乏和患病的軟弱、以及靈魂落入陰間的痛苦，但 神都能「提拔」、「醫治」和「拯救」。因著這樣的經歷，他激勵「耶和華的聖民」，都要起來感謝和讚美 神，「因為祂的怒氣不過是轉眼之間，祂的恩典乃是一生之久，一宿雖然有哭泣，早晨便必歡呼。」阿們！禱告從這一的詩句中，我們都得著特別的激勵，能透過 神一生之久的恩典看自己所處一切的環境。哪怕在難處也挑戰中，也確信「一宿雖然有哭泣，早晨便必歡呼」，知道他必「將我的哀哭變為跳舞， 將我的麻衣脫去，給我披上喜樂」（詩30:11），並因此來稱謝他的聖名。
