Happiness Habit: Sing Your Thank

Happiness Habit: Sing Your Thanks to the Lord

喜乐的习惯：向上帝唱出你的感谢！

By Rick Warren — Feb 21, 2016

"Sing out your thanks to him; sing praises to our God." (Psalm 147:7a LB)

“你们要以感谢的心向耶和华歌唱。”（诗篇147:7a 新译本）

Learning to thank God for what he has given us is an important part of our spiritual journey. So how do you make gratitude to God an important part of your life?

学习为上帝给我们的而感恩是我们信仰之路很重要的一部分。那么，你是怎样对那位你生命中至关重要的上帝产生感恩之情的呢？

One of the most important ways to do so is by singing. The Bible says, "Sing out your thanks to him; sing praises to our God" (Psalm 147:7a LB). Nothing makes you aware of God's presence more quickly than singing your praise to God. It doesn’t matter how much musical talent you have, either. The Bible urges us to make a joyful noise. Even pigs do that as they eat! If pigs can make a joyful noise, so can you.

最重要的方法之一就是歌唱！圣经说，“你们要以感谢的心向耶和华歌唱”（诗篇147:7a 新译本）。没有什么比向神歌出感恩更快能感受到上帝同在的了。不在乎你有多少音乐天赋。圣经呼吁我们发出喜乐的声音。甚至猪在他们吃饭的时候都可以做到！就不用说你了！

Christianity is a singing faith. There are more songs about Jesus Christ than anything or anyone else, even love. That’s why you need to be part of a local church. It’s not just about listening to a weekly message from the Bible. At least once a week, you need the emotional expression that comes from singing thanks to God. If you don't, your heart will shrivel. You can’t be a healthy Christian on sermons alone. You need both the impression from the message and the expression through the music.

基督教信仰是一种歌唱的信仰。这有很多关于耶稣基督的歌曲，比任何事、任何人都多，甚至超过了爱情歌曲。这就是为什么你需要成为当地教会的一部分。这并不仅仅是每周去听圣经的信息。你每周至少需要一次，向上帝唱出感恩的情感表达。如果你不这样做，你的心灵将会枯萎。你不会仅仅从听道，就能成为一个健康的基督徒。信息带来的感动和音乐的表达，你都是需要的。

I have discovered that the times when I least feel like singing are when I need to do it the most. When my heart is cold, I need to be renewed, restored, and recharged through singing thanks to God. In my hectic schedule, I find listening to music and singing praise to God renews my soul.

我发现，当我最不想唱歌的时候，就是我最需要唱歌的时候。当我心灰意冷的时候，我需要通过向上帝唱出感恩，来更新我，修复我，填满我。在我忙碌的生活中，我发现听音乐和唱赞美诗可以使我灵命苏醒。

So turn on your favorite worship songs or find a good Christian radio station, and sing along. Thank God for all he has given you. And make a joyful noise to the Lord while you’re at it.

那么，播放你最喜欢的敬拜歌曲，或者找一个不错的基督电台，一起唱。为上帝给你的一切感谢神。当你在其中的时候，
