2023年6月，有4個兄弟姐妹在哥倫比亞的亞馬遜叢林被平安尋獲，這個消息震撼了全世界！他們的母親在飛機失事中喪生，而這4個年齡介於1到13歲的孩子在叢林生活了40天之久。他們因為熟悉叢林嚴苛的生存環境，所以懂得藏身在樹幹裡躲避野獸，用瓶子盛裝溪水和雨水，在飛機殘骸裡找尋能食用的木薯粉之類的食物，還知道哪些野果和種子可以吃。

上帝保護了他們，還供應他們的需要。

這則令人難以置信的新聞，讓我想到當以色列人在曠野漂流40年時，上帝如何奇妙地供應他們，這些事蹟在出埃及記、民數記和聖經多處都有提到。上帝存留這些以色列人的性命，好讓他們明白，祂就是他們的上帝。

在曠野中，上帝使泉水從苦變甜，兩度使磐石出水供百姓飲用，並在日間以雲柱、夜間以火柱來引領祂的子民。上帝還降下嗎哪讓百姓食用，摩西對百姓說：「這就是耶和華給你們吃的食物。耶和華所吩咐的是這樣：『你們要按著各人的飯量，⋯⋯收起來。』」（出埃及記16章15-16節）

這位上帝同樣供應你我「日用的飲食」（馬太福音6章11節）。我們可以確信祂必定「照祂榮耀的豐富，在基督耶穌裡」供應你我的需求（腓立比書4章19節）。我們所事奉的是一位何等全能的上帝啊！

The world was amazed when four siblings ages one to thirteen were found alive in Colombia’s Amazon jungle in June 2023. The siblings had survived forty days in the jungle after a plane crash, which killed their mother. The children, who were familiar with the jungle’s harsh terrain, hid from wild animals in tree trunks, collected water from streams and rain in bottles, and ate food such as cassava flour from the wreckage. They also knew which wild fruits and seeds were safe to eat.

God sustained the siblings.

Their incredible story reminds me of how God miraculously sustained the Israelites in the desert for forty years, which is recorded in the books of Exodus and Numbers and mentioned throughout the Bible. He preserved their lives so that they would know He was their God.

God turned bitter spring water into drinkable water, provided water from a rock twice, and guided His people in a pillar of cloud by day and pillar of fire by night. He also provided manna for them. “Moses said to them, ‘It is the bread the Lord has given you to eat. This is what the Lord has commanded: Everyone is to gather as much as they need’ ” (Exodus 16:15-16).

The same God provides us with “our daily bread” (Matthew 6:11). We can trust Him to provide for our needs “according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). What a mighty God we serve!
