• 歌罗西书3:16

当用各样的智慧，把基督的道丰丰富富的存在心里，用诗篇、赞美诗、灵歌，彼此教导，互相劝戒，以感恩的心歌颂上帝。

• 马太福音5:8

清心的人有福了！因为他们必得见上帝。

今天的几处经文再次告诉我们，要借着诗歌与歌唱赞美上帝。歌罗西书3:16的最后一句尤其值得注意：我们要“心被恩感，歌颂上帝”。我们可能出于单纯的习惯而为上帝或他人做很多事，却对我们毫无意义；同样，我们也可能口中在歌颂上帝，心中却没有感恩感谢之情。这一周当我们要敬拜时，当先察验自己的心，确保心中满有感恩。敬拜要始于内心，才会漫延到我们生命的其余部分。

• Colossians 3:16

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

• Matthew 5:8

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Again, we’re presented with more passages about the idea of praising God through songs and singing. The very last phrase is important to catch: we are to sing to God with gratitude in our hearts. Just like we can do many things for God or for others out of simple routine and it not really mean anything to us, we can sing to God without having gratitude and thanksgiving in our hearts. As we enter worship this week, let’s check our hearts and make sure they’re filled with gratitude. Worship starts in the heart and spreads to the rest of our lives.

在开始今天的生活之前，花点时间聆听一些敬拜音乐，之后祈求上帝在这一天用感恩充满你的心。
