標 題： 看似不可能的事
經 節： 耶穌說：「不用他們去，你們給他們吃吧！」（馬太福音十四章16節）
耶穌交代門徒去做一件看似不可能的事。這裡有五千個男人及其家屬，他們全都餓了。而他們只有五個餅和兩條魚，很明顯地，這根本不夠喂飽一群人。就算只為其中部分的群眾購買食物，也超出門徒小小的預算。耶穌居然要門徒把那一點點的食物分給一大群聽眾，實在很不合理。然而，這就是耶穌交代他們的。耶穌既已下達命令，門徒就順服了，並且親眼看見這個神跡奇事。
耶穌會領你到許多看似不可能的環境，千萬別避開。你將在人看來不可能的環境中經歷神。看似不可能的事與確實可能的事，其不同的關鍵乃是來自主口中說的話！信心是接受主神聖的命令，且邁開步伐，朝向只有神才能完成的目標前行。如果只著手那些有把握的事，你周圍的人將看不到神的工作。你可能會在許多方面很成功，可是神與你的成功無分。
仔細檢查你當前的生活，以及當前所面對的決定。你是否已經從主那兒領受到話語，而主正等待著你下一步的行動？如果你做了祂交代的事，不管這整件事看起來是多麼不可能，你會體驗到見證主行神跡的喜樂，你周圍的人也會有一樣的經歷。
Don’t Avoid the
Impossible
But Jesus said
to them, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to
eat.” (Matthew 14:16)
Jesus asked His disciples to do something that clearly was impossible.
There were five thousand men, along with their families, and they were
famished. There were only five loaves of bread and two small fish—obviously not
enough to feed a multitude. The cost of food for even a portion of the crowd
would have far exceeded the disciples’ small budget. It may have seemed absurd
to the disciples that Jesus should ask them to distribute the paltry amount of
food to the massive crowd. Yet that is exactly what Jesus asked them to do.
Because Jesus had given the command, the disciples obeyed and witnessed an
incredible miracle.
Christ will lead you into many situations that will seem impossible, but
don’t try to avoid them. Stay in the middle of them, for that is where you will
experience God. The key difference between what appears to be impossible to us
and what is actually possible is a word from our Master! Faith accepts His
divine command and steps out in a direction that only God can complete. If you
only attempt things that you know are possible with the visible resources you
possess, those around you will not see God at work. You will be the one who
receives the credit for a job well done, but God will have no part in it.
Take inventory of your life and the decisions you are presently facing.
Have you received a word from the Master that awaits your next step of faith?
If you will proceed with what He has told you, no matter how incredible it
might seem, you will experience the joy of seeing your Lord perform a miracle,
and so will those around you.
