Matthew 6:28-30

Matthew 6:28-30

[28] And  why  take ye thought  for  raiment?  Consider  the lilies  of the field,  how  they grow;  they toil  not,  neither  do they spin:  [29] And yet  I say  That  Solomon  in  all  his  glory  not  arrayed  like  one  [30] Wherefore,  if  God  so  clothe  the grass  of the field,  which to day  and  to morrow  is cast  into  the oven,  shall he not  much  more  O ye of little faith? 

What does Matthew 6:28-30 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

The lilies of the field were probably the wild crocuses that bloom so abundantly in Galilee during the spring. However, Jesus probably intended them to represent all the wildflowers. His point was that God is so good that He covers the ground with beautiful wildflowers that have no productive value and only last a short time.
"Once dried, grass became an important fuel source in wood-poor Palestine." [1]
God"s providential grace should not make the disciple lazy but confident that He will provide for His children"s needs similarly. God often dresses the simplest field more beautifully than Israel"s wealthiest king could adorn himself. Therefore anxiety about the essentials of life really demonstrates lack of faith in God.
