Good morning, readers. Today I will finish my blog series with a common parable that I'm sure you've heard of. One of my friends from church memorized the entire story. Matthew 6:25-34 tells us DO NOT WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING.You may be wondering, if you haven't heard the story, what does this have to do with flowers? Well, in verses 28-29 we read: And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Jesus talked about the beauty of the lilies, yet He talked about them in an applicable story. We've all heard a thousand and one times 'don't worry.' But have we ever thought about worry and how it's a sin? Don't tell me you've never worried about clothes or something else. Jesus says 'Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.' This is all black and white (and red). It's simple, but often overlooked. It's one of those parables that we've heard a zillion times and we may never think about it. We need to look at it and live it. So, whether you worry about what to eat, the future, breaking a window when you're playing baseball, or anything else, know that God is with you and there is no need to worry.
