【读圣经学英语】日用的食物

 

马太福音-Matthew 6章11节

6:11 我们日用的食物,今日赐给我们;
Give us today our daily bread.

Enlightenment:

This prayer is all-inclusive. The patterned prayer firstly cares for God’s name, God’s kingdom, and God’s will; then secondly, for our need. This reveals that in this fighting prayer the Lord will still take care of our needs. According to verse 11 we are to ask “today” for our “daily bread.” The King does not want His people to worry about tomorrow (v. 34); He only wants them to pray for their needs today. The term “daily bread” indicates living by faith. The kingdom people should not live on what they have stored; rather, by faith they should live on the Father’s daily supply.

亮光

这祷告乃是包罗一切的。这示范的祷告,首先顾到神的名、神的国和神的旨意,其次才顾到我们的需要。这启示在这争战的祷告中,主仍会眷顾我们的需要。照着十一节,我们『今日』求我们『日用的食物。』王不要祂的子民为明天忧虑,(太六34,)只要他们为今日的需用祷告。『日用的食物』一辞指明凭信而活。国度子民不该靠所积蓄的生活,只该凭信,靠父每日的供应生活。
