与人分享这丰盛
如果你是为人父母的，你也许有过子女似乎不感激我们的感受.我们把很多精力放在照顾他们身体、教育、灵性、经济，和交通上的需要，但他们往往好像视此为理所当然的，有时我们会因此感到泄气。
然而，今天我收到儿子一封令我很快慰的电邮。电邮里，他表示他晓得爸爸妈妈为他所作的，而且为此满心感激！
诗篇95篇提醒我们， “我们是〔神〕草场的羊，是他手下的民。” 我们晓得在草场上生活的好处吗？
在浪子的比喻中，当小儿子回到家，大儿子却因看见接下来的大事庆祝而心感怨愤时，父亲便对大儿子说：“我一切所有的都是你的。” (路加福音 15:31)
我们是神手下的民，也就是说，神常常为我们提供丰盛的美物。在神的草场上，从来不会有缺乏。神已经把衪的灵，并把信、望、爱赐给了我们，而当我们把这些与人分享时，这一切不但不会因此减少，反而会加倍增多——神所赐的，总是足够有余的！
今天，我们应该思想，要如何心存感恩地在神丰富和青翠的草场上好好地活，同时把神在其中所赐的美物传开去，与人分享。
慈爱的神，是祢赐我们一切丰盛的美物，愿我们以感谢和乐于与人分享的生活来回应。奉耶稣的名祈求，阿们。
诗篇 95:1-7
1来啊，我们要向耶和华歌唱， 向拯救我们的磐石欢呼！
2我们要来感谢他， 用诗歌向他欢呼！
3因耶和华为大神， 为大王，超乎万神之上。
4地的深处在他手中； 山的高峰也属他。
5海洋属他，是他造的； 旱地也是他手造成的。
6来啊，我们要屈身敬拜， 在造我们的耶和华面前跪下。
7因为他是我们的神； 我们是他草场的羊，是他手下的民。
Pasture Living
"He is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care." — Psalm 95:7
If you are a parent, maybe you have experienced what seems like ingratitude on the part of your children. When so much of our lives centers on their physical, educational, spiritual, financial, and transportation needs, and they often seem to take it for granted, we can become discouraged.
But today I received an email from my son that made my heart glad. It showed that he is aware of some of what my husband and I have done for him. And he was grateful!
Psalm 95 reminds us that “we are the people of [God’s] pasture, the flock under his care.” Are we aware of the benefits of pasture living?
In the parable of the lost son, when the younger son returns home and his older brother resents the celebration that follows, the father says to the elder son, “Everything I have is yours” (Luke 15:31).
To be a people under God’s care means that abundant goodness is always available to us. In God’s pasture, there is no scarcity of goodness. God’s gifts of his Spirit to us and of faith, hope, and love do not diminish when they’re given to others as well. These things simply multiply; there’s always more than enough!
Today we’re called to explore how we can live in gratitude for the rich, green pasture of God’s care as we extend God’s goodness to others.
Aware of the abundant goodness you provide for us, loving God, prompt us to respond in gratitude and generous living. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
