2024 Thanksgiving Month Day 6:
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).

2024感恩月Day 6
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）。
