太二四45~47 这样，谁是那忠信又精明的奴仆，为主人所派，管理他的家人，按时分粮给他们？主人来到，看见他这样行，那奴仆就有福了。我实在告诉你们，主人要派他管理一切的家业。

　　马太二十四章四十五节所说的家人，指信徒（弗二19），即召会（提前三15）。分粮给他们，是指在召会里，将神的话和基督当作生命的供应，供应给信徒。我们都必须学习，如何按时将生命的供应，供应主的家人。……马太二十四章四十六、四十七节……的有福，是在国度的实现里，得着管理的权柄为赏赐。对于忠信的奴仆，主在诸天之国的实现里，要派他管理一切的家业，作为赏赐（马太福音生命读经，八一九至八二○页）。

　　Matt. 24:45-47 Who then is the faithful and prudent slave, whom the master has set over his household to give them food at the proper time? Blessed is that slave whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. Truly I say to you that he will set him over all his possessions.

　　The household spoken of in Matthew 24:45 refers to the believers (Eph. 2:19), who constitute the church (1 Tim. 3:15). To give them food is to minister the word of God and Christ as the life supply to the believers in the church. We all must learn how to minister the life supply to the household of the Lord at the proper time. [In] Matthew 24:46-47…to be blessed is to be rewarded with the authority to rule in the manifestation of the kingdom. In the manifestation of the kingdom of the heavens, the Lord will set the faithful slave over all His possessions. This will be a reward to him. (Life-study of Matthew, p. 705)

　　在马太二十四章四十五至五十一节，……主嘱咐我们，托付我们，要供应祂的家人，就是供应召会里的信徒。……我们必须按时分粮，就是分配生命的供应给主的子民。不要说别人有教导的恩赐，能教导你神的话，供应你属灵的食物，但你没有那样的恩赐。……所有主的仆人都为着他们的使命，领受了恩赐。

　　供应食物的人知道要按时供餐。你若每天供应食物，你就必须作早餐、午餐和晚餐。……同样，每当我们聚在一起，这就是你按时供应合式的食物给主的家属的时间。……如果我在主的话上没有够多的殷勤劳苦，就来对你们说话，我就只能供应你们“一杯咖啡和几个甜甜圈”。烹煮一顿滋养、美味的早餐，需要你的殷勤。照二十五章十四至三十节这个比喻的上下文，忠信的人就是殷勤的人。忠信在此等于殷勤，懒惰等于怠惰。

　　我们必须殷勤寻求主的话，使我们预备好，来到聚会时能供应美好的食物。吃的时候就是“按时”；聚会的时候就是“按时”。在主日上午、主日晚上、周二晚上、周五晚上，我们都有指定的时候。聚会的时间，就是指定的时候，我们众人必须将一些生命的供应，供给神家的人，供给同作信徒的人。

　　照顾他们就是去喂养他们，把食物供应给他们。对于罪人，我们所供应合式的食物，乃是基督的福音。医院里的护士知道，他们必须用不同的食物供应病人。不同的食物供应给不同的病人，是为了应付他们特殊的需要。对我们来说也是一样。全地就是医院，满了疾病和各式各样有病的人。实在说来，甚至召会也是医院，满了有病的人。所以，我们必须按时供应不同的话语给他们。……信徒、召会甚至所有的罪人都在你身边。你的责任，你的职责，乃是供应食物给他们。他们若是罪人，你必须供应他们恩典的福音，作他们所需要的食物。他们若是信徒，患了某种疾病，那么你就要从圣经上供应适合他们情形的话，来喂养、医治、加强或唤醒他们。……当你进到办公室，必须领悟这就是指定的时候，让你供应合式的福音食物给不信的人（李文集一九八五年第五册，六二六、六三二、六三四至六三六页）。

　　在好几节经文里，诗篇一百一十九篇的作者告诉我们，他默想神的话（15、23、48、78、99、148）。默想话乃是借着仔细揣摩而品尝它。因此，默想是一种享受。我能见证，我所得着的光照，多半是借着清晨默想主的话来的。我默想主的话时，是以许多的揣摩来详细思考（诗篇生命读经，五六一页）。

　　参读：马太福音生命读经，第六十三、六十七篇。

　　In Matthew 24:45-51…the Lord charged us, commissioned us, to minister something to His household, that is, to the believers in the church…At the proper time we have to minister food, the life supply, to the Lord's people. Do not say that others have a gift of teaching to teach you the Word of God and minister spiritual food to you but that you do not have such a gift…All of the Lord's servants received the gift for their commission.

　　Whoever serves food knows the proper time. If you are serving food every day, you have to make breakfast, lunch, and dinner…In like manner, whenever we meet together, this is one of the proper times, the appointed times, for you to minister the proper food to the Lord's folks…If I did not labor adequately in the Word and came to speak to you, I would just be ministering to you “a cup of coffee and some doughnuts.” To cook a nourishing, good breakfast requires your diligence. According to the context of this parable, the faithful one is the diligent one. Faithful here equals diligent, and slothful equals lazy. We must be diligent in seeking the Word so that we could prepare to serve good food when we come to the meeting. The eating time is the proper time, and the meeting time is the proper time. We have the proper time on the Lord's DAY morning, on the Lord's DAY evening, Tuesday evening, and Friday evening. The meeting times are the proper times when we all have to minister some portion of the life supply to our folks, to our fellow believers.

　　To care for them is simply to feed them, to minister food to them. To the sinners the proper food that we minister is the gospel of Christ. The nurses in the hospitals know that they must serve the patients with different meals. Different food is ministered to different patients to meet their specific needs. It is the same with us. The entire earth is a hospital, full of sickness and full of all kinds of sick people. The church in a good sense is also a hospital, full of sick people. Therefore, we have to minister different words to them at the proper time…The believers, the churches, and even the more all the sinners are around you. It is your duty, your obligation, to minister food to them. If they are sinners, you have to minister the gospel of grace to them as the food they need. If they are believers sick of something, then you need to minister some word from the Bible that suits their condition, either to nourish them, to heal them, to strengthen them, or to wake them up…When you enter into your office, you must realize that this is one of the proper times to minister the proper food of the gospel to the unbelieving ones. (CWWL, 1985, vol. 5, “The Way to Practice the Lord's Present Move,” pp. 514-517)

　　In several verses the writer of Psalm 119 tells us that he mused upon God's word (vv. 15, 23, 48, 78, 99, 148). To muse on the word is to taste it through careful considering. Thus, musing is a kind of enjoyment. I can testify that most of the enlightenment I receive comes by musing on the Word early in the morning. As I muse on the Word, I think about it with much consideration in a detailed way. (Life-study of the Psalms, 2nd ed., p. 461)
