Consider the Lilies

A wise man once said, “Consider the lilies,” Exquisite white blooms beckoning spring In splendor atop their long green stalks, The lilies make our gladdened hearts sing. Since God takes care of the lilies, he said, Doesn’t it make sense for us in Him to trust For God loves us much more than the flowers Cultivating our faith in God, we simply must!

"since God takes care of liliies" - we could put this on shirts and make the world ponder.

Our faith is like a well kept garden, we should look after it, never neglecting it and ensuring we keep the weeds at bay. Tom

We must, for as lilies of the field, we should be. Depending upon Him.
