The Heidelberg Catechism, This Lord's Day week 50

Q125: What is the fourth petition?

A125: Give us this day our daily bread; that is, be pleased to provide for all our bodily need,[1] so that we may thereby acknowledge that Thou art the only fountain of all good,[2] and that without Thy blessing neither our care and labor, nor Thy gifts, can profit us;[3] that we may therefore withdraw our trust from all creatures and place it alone in Thee.[4]

1. Psa. 104:27-28; 145:15-16; Matt. 6:25-262. Acts 14:17; 17:27-283. I Cor. 15:58; Deut. 8:3; Psa. 37:3-7, 16-174. Psa. 55:22; 62:10; 127:1-2; 146:2-3; Jer. 17:5, 7
