凡是我住過的地方，我都種百合花。我喜歡色彩鮮豔的百合花，特別是那些橘色和黃色的。我經常在我的花園裡欣賞百合花，好奇想知道它們怎麼可以長得那麼高、那麼漂亮？ 　在今天閱讀的經文裡，耶穌談到了野花，有一些聖經版本翻譯作「百合花」而不是「野花」。第27節說：「看看百合花怎樣生長吧。它們既不工作又不縫衣，可是我告訴你們，甚至像所羅門王那樣的榮華顯赫，他的衣飾也比不上一朵野花那樣的美麗。」這些花是怎麼變得那麼美麗的？是上帝照顧著它們！ 　耶穌繼續談到上帝照顧我們，祂提醒我們不該擔心吃什麼、喝什麼，因為上帝知道我們的需要，而且祂會照顧我們。 　今天請不要擔心！上帝會與你同在並且供應你的需要。 －JK 「你們要追求上帝主權的實現，他就會把這一切都供給你們。」 路加福音12:31 禱告：親愛的上帝，祢是如此慈愛又令人敬畏！我知道今天祢會照顧我。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Bible Reading: Luke 12:22-31

Wherever I have lived, I have planted lilies. I love colorful lilies, especially the orange and yellow ones. Often I look at the lilies in my garden and wonder how they can grow so tall and beautiful. 　In our Bible Reading today, Jesus talks about wildflowers. Some Bible translations use the word “lilies” instead of wildflowers. Verse 27 says, “Think about how the wildflowers grow. They don’t work or make clothes for themselves. But I tell you that even Solomon, the great and rich king, was not dressed as beautifully as one of these flowers.” How do these flowers become so beautiful? God takes care of them! 　Jesus continues talking about how God takes care of us. He reminds us that we should not worry about what we will eat or drink. Why? Because God knows what we need, and He will take care of us. 　Don’t worry today! God will be with you and provide for your needs. —JK “What you should be thinking about is God’s kingdom. Then he will give you all these other things you need.” Luke 12:31 PRAYER: Dear God, You are so awesome and loving! I know that You will take care of me today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
