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。 一位朋友帮我度过暂时的困难，我感激，也觉得不好意思。领受不使人失去尊严。清楚表达感谢与约定，能保护彼此的信任。 今天的一小步：认真致谢，并确认双方对这次帮助的理解。 感受值得被承认，但感受不是全部事实。试着区分已经发生的事、自己的解释和还不知道的部分。
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. A friend helped me through a temporary difficulty, and I feel both grateful and awkward. Receiving does not remove dignity. Clear thanks and agreements help protect trust. A small step today: Offer sincere thanks and clarify what both people understand about the help. Feelings deserve acknowledgment, but they are not the whole story. Distinguish what happened, your interpretation, and what remains unknown.

Father, A friend helped me through a temporary difficulty, and I feel both grateful and awkward. Give me courage to face my feelings and patience to separate facts from assumptions. In Jesus' name, amen.
