讀 經：詩篇104：19-35
金 句：「你給它們，它們便拾起來。」（詩篇104：28）
全年讀經：約書亞記1-3章
當我在書房寫作時，我的窗外站著一位看不見的喂鳥人。每天我都能從這位喂鳥人那裡聽到一些奇妙的、無言的話語。那些傳話者就是我的小鳥朋友們，它們是如此有感染力的證明著這些話：所有的受造之物，包括你我在內，信賴上帝是正確而合理的。
下面的三個重點就是那些鳥兒們所信靠的：
1.每日尋求上帝的供應。
2.因為他以前都能滿足你，所以要以期待的心來尋求他的供應。
3.主動地尋求他的供應，並負起採集的責任。
在詩篇104：27-28所描寫的小鳥是：「這都仰望你按時給它食物，你給它們，它們便拾起來。」
聖經就好比一張桌子，放滿了我們每日所需的滋養食物：應許、教導、安慰和鼓勵。像任何良善的主人一樣，上帝告訴我們說：「來吧！並且把它拿去！」但我們卻常常沒辦法做到這點，我們常常倚賴除他以外的任何事物，並常疑惑：為什麼我們的信心是這麼的軟弱。假如我們像鳥兒朋友們一樣，能夠每日以期待的心並且主動地前來取食，我們在天上的主就會供給我們所有的需求。信靠他吧！JEY
上帝的話語在我們成長時
必供應我們所需要的滋養；
如果我們不去享用它，
就永遠不了解其生命力。Sper
上帝喂養鳥兒，但並不是把食物丟到它們的鳥巢裡。

Come And Get It!
Read: Psalm 104:19-35
What You give them they gather in. --Psalm 104:28
A bird-feeder stands outside the window of my study where I sit and write. Every day, wonderful wordless sermons are preached to me from that feeder. The preachers are my feathered friends, and the message they illustrate so effectively is this: Dependence on God is right and reasonable for all of God's creatures, including you and me!
Here is the three-point sermon on God-dependence that the birds live out faithfully:
Seek God's provision daily.
Seek His provision expectantly, for He has satisfied you before.
Seek His provision actively, taking responsibility to gather it in.
The birds illustrate Psalm 104:27-28, "These all wait for You, that You may give them their food in due season. What You give them they gather in."
The Bible is like a table, laden with nourishing food we need every day: promises, instruction, wisdom, comfort, and encouragement. Like any good host, God tells us, "Come and get it!" But we often fail to do this. We depend on everything but Him and wonder why our faith is feeble. But if like our feathered friends we'll come and feast daily, expectantly, and actively, our divine Host will provide for all our needs. Depend on it! --JEY
God's Word provides the nourishment
We need to have if we're to grow;
But if we do not feast on it,
Vitality we'll never know. --Sper
God feeds the birds, but He doesn't throw the food into their nests.
