我們的人生並非完美無缺,但是 神賜給我們一個恩典,就是在我們裡面有一個不是從天然人而來的信心,使我們可以不(一直)定睛於失敗和痛苦,並且轉向 神的所是和所做 ,進而自然而然的向祂發出讚美。「讚美」來自於神所賜的信心,同時也是我們要用意志所揀選的行動,來宣揚 神的自己並祂大能的作為,把祂當得的榮耀歸給祂。 同樣的,感恩也不是因為我們外在的環境盡如人意,乃是新造的人在信心和意志裡對 神的回應。

We can hardly live a perfect life, but we can live a surpassing one with the heavenly faith received through God’s grace. Through faith we will be able to turn our eyes from difficult circumstances and focus on who He is and what He has done. Once we turn our eyes back to God, our praise to Him will flow out of us naturally. However, it is usually not our habit to do so. We ought to exercise our will consciously and intentionally to praise Him. May the Spirit help us to proclaim His name and wonderful deeds, and “ascribe to Him the glory due His name”.

Month of Praising - Day 22

Day 22
Psalm 136:1-9
1.Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!For His mercy endures forever.2 Oh, give thanks to the God of gods!For His mercy endures forever.3 Oh, give thanks to the Lord of lords!For His mercy endures forever:4 To Him who alone does great wonders,For His mercy endures forever;5 To Him who by wisdom made the heavens,For His mercy endures forever;6 To Him who laid out the earth above the waters,For His mercy endures forever;7 To Him who made great lights,For His mercy endures forever—8 The sun to rule by day,For His mercy endures forever;9 The moon and stars to rule by night, For His mercy endures forever.

The Psalms 136 is a revelation about thanksgiving. The God Who only does wondrous things is worthy for our blesses and praises, for "His mercy endures forever". The poet seems numbering God's works so that we can know that all works of God origins from His nature, i.e., "His mercy endures forever".

Hallelujah... When we look up at the vast sky and watch the amazing creation of the Lord, fear the Lord and be surprised! Thanks be to the great and wonderful Creator, Who is our God and Heavenly Father! His promises, faithfulness and mercy endure forever!



22
136:1-9
1.你們要稱謝耶和華,因他本為善,他的慈愛永遠長存!2 你們要稱謝萬神之神,因他的慈愛永遠長存!3 你們要稱謝萬主之主,因他的慈愛永遠長存!4 稱謝那獨行大奇事的,因他的慈愛永遠長存!5 稱謝那用智慧造天的,因他的慈愛永遠長存!6 稱謝那鋪地在水以上的,因他的慈愛永遠長存!7 稱謝那造成大光的,因他的慈愛永遠長存!8 他造日頭管白晝,因他的慈愛永遠長存!9 他造月亮星宿管黑夜,因他的慈愛永遠長存!

詩篇136整篇都是感恩的啟示詩,創造萬物獨行大奇事的神是配得我們稱頌讚美的,因我們的神“祂的慈愛永遠長存”,詩人好像要藉數算神的作為,讓我們認識到神的一切作為都是源於祂的本性就是:“祂的慈愛永遠長存”

哈利路亞…當我們抬頭仰望浩瀚的星空時,當我們觀看主我神的創造奇工時,讓我們敬畏、讓我們驚嘆!感恩的是這偉大奇妙的創造者,祂是我們的神、我們的天父!祂對我們的應許、祂的信實、慈愛永遠長存!
