Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! (Luke 12:27-28 ESV)
The audience to which Jesus spoke may indeed had reason for concern about affording the basics of life, like clothing and food. Here we are with competition in designer clothing worrying how we look when we go out. But the worries are the same. They focus on me having what I think I need, instead of trusting Him to provide what He knows I need. If he provides such beauty for this temporal creation, how much more will he provide for the housing of our eternal souls.
