帖撒罗尼迦前书 1Thessalonians 5:18
帖撒罗尼迦前书 5:18 凡事谢恩;因为这是神在基督耶稣⾥ 向你们所定的旨意。(现代标点和合本)
1Thessalonians 5:18 In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (NKJV)
圣经告诉我们凡事要奉主耶稣基督的名常 常感谢⽗神。你⼿中拥有什么?这⼀切岂不都是从神领受的吗?你的房⼦、家⼈、朋友、你今天能够来教会——这⼀切岂不值得让我们感恩的吗?当你献上感恩,你就是被圣灵所引导。如果你总是抱怨⽣活,就不是以感恩的⼼来过⽣活。开始感谢神赐予你⽣命中所拥有⼀切。阿们!过⼀个懂得感恩的⼈⽣。当你在照顾孩⼦的当⼉,献上感恩;当你和家⼈或朋友⼀起⽤餐时,献上感恩;你今天能够来参加教会,亦献上感恩。当你凡事谢恩,如同主耶稣为五饼⼆⻥⽽感谢天⽗时,你就不会消灭圣灵的感动,相反,你是与圣灵同⾏。你要被圣灵引导吗?你想要拥有权柄,远超过⼀切执政和掌权的吗?你要看到我们教会的弟兄姐妹战胜癌症和⼀切的疾病吗?那么我们要开始以诗章、颂词、灵歌彼此对说。更重要的是,献上感恩给我们的主。
The Bible encourages us to give thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. What do you have in your hands? Does it come from God? Your house, your family, your friends, your ability to attend church today – are these not things that we can be thankful for? If you do, then you are being led by the Holy Spirit. If you live life complaining all the time, you are not living life with a thankful heart. Start thanking God for the things you have in your life. Amen. Live a life of giving thanks. When you carry your child, give thanks. When you have meals with your family or friends, give thanks. When you are attending the church service today, give thanks to Him. When you often give thanks as Jesus did when He gave thanks for the five loaves and two small fish, you will not be quenching the Spirit, but instead, you will be flowing with the Spirit. Do you wish to flow with the Spirit? Do you want to walk with authority, far above every power and principality? Do you want to see our church members walking above cancer and all other diseases? Then start speaking psalms and singing hymns and spiritual songs. More importantly, give thanks to God.
