SCRIPTURE

"Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now taken." — John 21:10 (ASV)

Bring some of the fishes which you have now caught. Though the net was filled in a moment, without any great labor on their part, yet the taking of them is not ascribed by Christ to the disciples.

Thus, we call the bread which we daily eat, OUR bread, and yet, by asking that it may be given to us, we acknowledge that it proceeds from the blessing of God, (Matthew 6:11).
