《飲飲食食，重新得力》Day09
《魚：相信神供應》
1 耶穌站在革尼撒勒湖邊，眾人擁擠祂，要聽神的道。2 祂見有兩隻船灣在湖邊；打魚的人卻離開船洗網去了。3 有一隻船是西門的，耶穌就上去，請他把船撐開，稍微離岸，就坐下，從船上教訓眾人。4 講完了，對西門說：「把船開到水深之處，下網打魚。」 5 西門說：「夫子，我們整夜勞力，並沒有打着甚麼。但依從祢的話，我就下網。」 6 他們下了網，就圈住許多魚，網險些裂開， 7 便招呼那隻船上的同伴來幫助。他們就來，把魚裝滿了兩隻船，甚至船要沉下去。 8 西門彼得看見，就俯伏在耶穌膝前，說：「主啊，離開我，我是個罪人！」 9 他和一切同在的人都驚訝這一網所打的魚。10 他的夥伴西庇太的兒子雅各、約翰，也是這樣。耶穌對西門說：「不要怕！從今以後，你要得人了。」 11 他們把兩隻船攏了岸，就撇下所有的，跟從了耶穌。(路加福音五1-11)
24 到了迦百農，有收丁稅的人來見彼得，說：「你們的先生不納丁稅嗎？」 25 彼得說：「納。」他進了屋子，耶穌先向他說：「西門，你的意思如何？世上的君王向誰征收關稅、丁稅？是向自己的兒子呢？是向外人呢？」 26 彼得說：「是向外人。」耶穌說：「既然如此，兒子就可以免稅了。27 但恐怕觸犯他們，你且往海邊去釣魚，把先釣上來的魚拿起來，開了牠的口，必得一塊錢，可以拿去給他們，作你我的稅銀。」 (馬太福音十七24-27)
1 One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, the people were crowding around Him and listening to the word of God. 2 He saw at the water’s edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. 3 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then He sat down and taught the people from the boat. 4 When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” 5 Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.” 6 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. 7 So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!” 9 For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, 10 and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid; from now on you will fish for people.” 11 So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed Him. (Mark 5:1-11)
24 After Jesus and His disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma temple tax came to Peter and asked, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax?” 25 “Yes, He does,” he replied. When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak. “What do you think, Simon?” He asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes—from their own children or from others?” 26 “From others,” Peter answered. “Then the children are exempt,” Jesus said to him. 27 “But so that we may not cause offense, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours.” (Matthew 17:24-27)

分享：提到魚，你會想到那種食物呢？是壽司、炸魚薯條、還是水煮魚呢？因其蛋白質豐富、脂肪少且營養高，魚被廣泛推崇為「健康之選」。尤其在日本，刺身 (Sashimi) 更是美食精品，講究新鮮與純淨。魚，不單是我們餐桌上的供應，也可以是屬靈生命中的提醒。
大家還記得耶穌呼召彼得的場景嗎？當耶穌叫彼得「開到水深之處」時，彼得一開始是懷疑的：「我們整夜勞力，並沒有打著什麼」，但他仍依從主的話下網打魚。結果，不但打到了魚，還多到網幾乎裂開。作為經驗豐富的漁夫，彼得的懷疑也是合理的，但神的供應更是意想不到，往往在人感到最疲憊、無望時出現，只要你願意照祂的話行。
《馬太福音十七》又記載了另一件「魚」的神蹟。耶穌為彼得和自己繳稅，不是靠人為手段，而是差彼得去釣魚，並在第一條魚口中得銀錢。如果你是彼得，會有什麼反應呢？按人的經驗與想法，大概會拒絕吧。然而，順服的人有福了！除了是經歷神蹟之外，更得著屬天得供應。神的供應超越人的經驗，只要信靠，就能看見祂的信實與奇妙。
Heidi Baker 是現代宣教士，Iris Global 的創辦人之一，她在莫三比克 (葡萄牙語：Moçambique) 服侍極度貧窮的社區。* 一次，她在為數百名兒童預備餐食時，手上的米和魚根本不夠分給所有人。於是，她為食物祝福，並照著信心分發。結果，米和魚像五餅二魚的神蹟一樣被「加添」，不但足夠所有人吃，甚至還有剩餘！這事多次發生於她的服事中。在一次《Christianity Today》的採訪中，Heidi 謙卑地說：「當你與貧民一起生活，你學會的不單是信神未來一年的供應，更是信神下一餐的供應。」 (When you’re living among the poor, you learn to trust God not just for the next year, but for the next meal.) 這種信心不是誇口的奇蹟，而是日復日的「屬靈魚供應」—— 就如耶穌使五餅二魚餵飽五千人，也如彼得下網而得魚一樣。
反思：你曾否感到「空網」？ 當資源、機會、力量似乎全部用盡，神要你把網撒下，你願意聽從嗎？即使似乎不合常理，仍踏出信心一步嗎？
禱告：親愛的天父，謝謝祢是永不止息的供應者。今天，我願意把「空網」交給祢，不靠自己的努力，而是按祢的話撒下我們的信心之網。求祢開恩，使我們在看似絕望中得著奇妙供應，蒙祢祝福，也使我們的生命成為他人看見祢信實與慷慨的見證。以上禱告，奉主耶穌得勝的名求，阿們。
