Let's Go Back to the Bible

Flowers teach us about providence

For some reason, mankind’s tendency is to worry about things much more than he should (worrying at all is worrying more than we should).  Yet, something as simple and beautiful as a flower teaches us a much needed and profound lesson.  “So why do you worry about clothing?  Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these” (Matt. 6:28-29).

Jesus tells us to look at the flowers to learn a lesson—since God obviously takes cares of the flowers of the field, how much more will He take care of His people, who are of much greater value to Him!

The next time you are driving down the road and pass a field of flowers, enjoy their beauty and splendid colors, and, at the same time, enjoy the visual reminder of God’s wonderful providence in your own life!
