感恩的心
“应当称谢耶和华;因他本为善,他的慈爱永远长存!”
历代志上 16:34
如果你看看“感恩”这两个字,就会发现它们的部首中都有“心”字。感恩就是对得到的恩惠从内心深处发出感激之情。
圣经中,有许多用来表达感恩之心的词汇。内心的感恩,常会促使人们由衷地用言语表达出感谢的词句。例如在历代志上16章中,大卫的诗歌就充满了对上帝的感恩,他诗歌中的词汇包括:歌唱、赞美、传扬、奇事、千代、荣耀、作为、奇妙、圣名、列邦、美善、喜乐、欢喜、记念、寻求、荣面、上帝、力量、圣所、述说、归给、澎湃、尊荣、圣洁、战抖、诸天、救恩、永远,万民等等。阿们!
今日祷告:
耶稣,因着对你的感谢,我看到祢的奇妙作为。求祢让我时时都有一颗感恩的心。阿们。

Words from Thanksgiving
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.
1 CHRONICLES 16 : 34
If you take the letters of thanksgiving and scramble them up, you can create some great vocabulary omelets. Words like giving and thanks are obvious, but think of all the others: think, hang, tang, gnat, king, gang, sing, singing, hanging, skiing, than, thin, snag, thing, nag, kin, stinking, thanking, thinking, hank, gain, gin, sang, it, at, is, as, gist, gas, its, ant, tan, shin, gash, kit, hat, saint, skit, angst, taking, van, skin, hint, sting, asking, tasking, ah, sin, in, an, gig, inn, gag, tag, tank, stag, staging, aging, gist, ski.
The Bible speaks often about other words that derive from a heart of thanksgiving. An attitude of gratitude causes people to erupt in thankful expressions. For instance, in 1 Chronicles 16:8–36, David overflows with thanksgiving, which creates in him a litany of other words too: sing, praise, tell, miracle, generations, glory, acts, wonderful, name, known, nations, good, joy, rejoice, remember, seek, face, Lord, strength, dwelling, declare, ascribe, resound, splendor, holiness, tremble, heavens, salvation, everlasting, people, say, amen.
Pray for the Day:
Jesus, giving thanks to you produces wonderful things in me. Keep creating a thankful heart within me. Amen.
