Consider the lilies

Matthew 6:28-29
" ... Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; ...."

Let's consider the lilies of the field how they grow.
Nature never humiliates it more modest members,
nor does it draw attention to its more radiant.












Each flower brings its own unique beauty.
Blending their individual splendor together,
Each contributes their best to the panoramic glory, that reflects the face of the creator.

Consider the flowers of the field, ... all of them are equally lovely

Flower shows have nothing to do with the flowers.
They are a ruse for the people standing in the shadows,
vying for supremacy and status.

For there to be competition,
the flower must be taken out of their natural environment,

The false environment of completion.
In the light of the gospel, none is greater than another,
None is preferred before another.
For there to be competition you have to remove yourself from the shadow of Calvary.

Consider the lilies.
Than look into the mirror

The Word of God is not a magnifying glass with which to look at others faults,
but a mirror in which we see our own!

Consider the lilies
