所以我告诉你们、不要为生命忧虑、吃甚么、喝甚么.为身体忧虑穿甚么.生命不胜于饮食么、身体不胜于衣裳么。 你们看那天上的飞鸟、也不种、也不收、也不积蓄在仓里、你们的天父尚且养活他.你们不比飞鸟贵重得多么。 你们那一个能用思虑、使寿数多加一刻呢。 何必为衣裳忧虑呢.你想野地里的百合花、怎么长起来、他也不劳苦、也不纺线. 然而我告诉你们、就是所罗门极荣华的时候、他所穿戴的、还不如这花一朵呢。 你们这小信的人哪、野地里的草、今天还在、明天就丢在炉里、 神还给他这样的妆饰、何况你们呢。 所以不要忧虑、说、吃甚么、喝甚么、穿甚么。 这都是外邦人所求的.你们需用的这一切东西、你们的天父是知道的。 你们要先求他的国、和他的义这些东西都要加给你们了。 所以不要为明天忧虑.因为明天自有明天的忧虑.一天的难处一天当就够了。
English
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
在生活中默想 · 灵修解释 · Reflecting in daily life · Devotional interpretation
马太福音 6 的段落谈到生活所需、忧虑与先寻求神的国。耶稣的教导邀请我们重新安排关注的中心;这不意味着可以忽略预算、责任或求助。 我们需要一起制定预算,而不是在焦虑中互相指责。预算也反映家庭如何倾听;共同安排比相互指责更能保护关系。今天可以从一个小而具体的回应开始:一起讨论一项支出,先说明需要而非责备。
English
Matthew 6 addresses daily needs, worry, and seeking God's kingdom. Jesus invites a change in our center of attention without dismissing budgets, responsibility, or help. Our family needs a budget we can discuss without blaming each other. A budget reveals how a household listens. Shared planning protects relationships better than blame. Begin with a small concrete response today: Discuss one expense together, naming needs without blame.

天父,我们需要一起制定预算,而不是在焦虑中互相指责。求你在这个处境中陪伴我,使我不必隐藏真实的感受。预算也反映家庭如何倾听;共同安排比相互指责更能保护关系。请赐我分辨与勇气,让我今天愿意这样回应:一起讨论一项支出,先说明需要而非责备。当结果还未明朗时,帮助我耐心尽自己的责任,也接受可信之人的支持。愿我的言语与行动显出爱,把无法掌握的部分交托给你。奉耶稣的名,阿们。

Father, Our family needs a budget we can discuss without blaming each other. Be with me here and help me bring my feelings honestly before you. A budget reveals how a household listens. Shared planning protects relationships better than blame. Give me wisdom and courage to respond today: Discuss one expense together, naming needs without blame. While the outcome is uncertain, help me fulfill my responsibilities patiently and receive support from trustworthy people. Let my words and actions show love as I entrust what I cannot control to you. In Jesus' name, amen.
