在這感恩的季節讀這首詩,引導我們怎樣來感謝上帝,因為一開始和結尾都是感謝上帝!而在每一個詩句當中,一直重複「因他的慈愛永遠長存」,就是告訴我們,我們沒有理由不感謝上帝,也因為這樣保羅教導我們:「要常常喜樂,不住地禱告,凡事謝恩;因為這是上帝在基督耶穌裡向你們所定的旨意。」(帖撒羅尼迦前書5:16-18)「我們曉得萬事都互相效力,叫愛上帝的人得益處,就是按他旨意被召的人。」(羅馬書8:28)
而詩人在這裡所回顧的事蹟,世上帝的創造、拯救與護理。不只是永恆的事蹟,更是天天可以感受得到的,尤其是像主教導的禱告文中說到:「我們日用的飲食,今日賜給我們。」
雖然我們每日都要工作,有收入才能維生,但是一切所需的都是上帝所賜、所預備,並且我們的工作也是參與在其中。所以,我們要常常的憑著「因他的慈愛永遠長存」,來過每一天的生活,相信上帝得保守,讓我們的心安定與喜樂,來面對人生各樣的考驗,仍然感謝與讚美上帝!
