感謝神一直在作工

Thanks For God』s Work

「我靠著耶穌基督，為你們眾人感謝我的神，因你們的信德傳遍了天下。」 - 羅 1:8

"I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world." — Romans 1:8

靈修

保羅大部份的書信的開首，都是為到受信的教會感謝神，而感謝通常會引進一個禱告，這個模式實在很有意思。

Paul begins most of his letters with expressions of thanks to God for the church and the believers to whom he writes. The thanksgiving often leads into a prayer, and that pattern makes sense.

當我探望一位手術後正在復原的會友時，她談到她復原的進展及她從物理治療師那裡得到的良好護理。她告訴我，她得到的護理遠超過她身體的需要；由於她丈夫住在附近的一所老人失智症中心，細心的治療師特意安排她步行到她丈夫的房間，作為她康復計劃的一部分。她很高興，也很感謝，我便和她一起為這個很有心的禮物感謝神。

While I visited with a member of my congregation who was recovering from surgery, she talked about the progress she was making and the excellent care she was receiving from the physical therapists. She shared that the care went well beyond her physical needs. Because her husband lived in a dementia care unit nearby, the therapists thoughtfully included walks to her husband』s room as part of the rehabilitation plan for her. She was delighted and thankful. Together we gave thanks to God in prayer for that thoughtful gift.

在你的生命中，有沒有人曾經特別很用心地對待你呢？你有沒有環顧四周，從家人、朋友、相識的人，甚至陌生人對你的看顧之中，而看到神的手呢？我們很容易便會忽略了神藉著其他人在我們身上所作的工，及祂編織在我們每天生活中的恩惠。

Have people shown thoughtfulness in your life? Have you looked around you and seen evidences of God』s care through family members, friends, acquaintances—and even strangers? It』s easy to miss seeing God』s hand at work through others and God』s goodness woven into the tapestry of our days.

或許我們可以像保羅那樣，今天就去留心聆聽別人分享他們信心的見證，我們也可以在自己的生命中尋找神的恩惠的明證。也讓我們為此禱告並獻上感謝。

But maybe today, as Paul did, we could listen carefully for reports of people living out their faith, and we could look for signs of God』s goodness in our own lives. Then let』s also pray and give thanks.

禱告

慈愛的神，禰一直在這個世界作工！為著我們聽到別人的見證，及看到禰恩惠的明證，我們滿心感激。求禰垂聽我們感謝的禱告，奉耶穌的名祈求，阿們。

Loving God, you are at work in our world. We hear faith-filled reports and see signs of your goodness, and we are thankful. Hear our prayer of gratitude, in Jesus』 name. Amen.
