信心的飞跃(之一)

Aug 22, 2023

“……你们给他们吃的吧。”(马太福音14:16)

丽仪·布朗(Lee Brown)留意到一个小女孩在社区乞讨,后来她在当地学校四处寻找,却毫无结果。当天布朗为其他孩子做出重大决策。她选中了当地一所最差学校的一年级,承诺为任何想上大学的学生支付学费。布朗并不富裕。她原是棉花采摘工,后来成为房地产经纪人,年收入是四万五千美元,而且还要抚养两个小孩,但她信守自己的承诺。除了从别人那里筹款,她本人每年奉献一万美元。布朗的信心救助了那些学生,使他们不至于流落街头。要影响他人需要勇气,尤其是当你感到人力不可为时。大卫·李文斯顿(David Livingstone)在非洲收到来信说:“我们想派人援助你。你能找到通往你那儿的路吗?”李文斯顿回信:“如果他们只在有路时才来,那就不要来。我要的是那些在无路时能来的人。”在被5000个饥肠辘辘的人包围时,耶稣告诉门徒说:“你们给他们吃的吧。”这似乎是不可能,但他们顺服时,就见证了神迹。有一位作者这么写道:“基督会带领你进入一个看似不可能的境地……不要逃避。你将会在那里经历上帝……如果只是依靠自己的资源来尝试你认为可能的事情……那么你将受到称赞,而与上帝无缘。……你是否接受了需要信心飞跃的话语?不管看来多么不可思议,继续往前,你会经历上帝成就神迹的喜乐,而且周围的人也会有同样的经历。”
