This inspiring article encourages you to embrace a powerful truth from Matthew 6:28-30: God’s care for His creation, especially for you. The passage uses the beauty of flowers to remind you not to worry, showing how God clothes the lilies of the field in splendor. If He takes such care with something as simple as grass, how much more does He care for you? It’s easy to read about God’s love, but truly experiencing and appreciating it is something else entirely. As you soak in this message, you’ll see how these verses brought peace during a tough time and learn how much God really cares for you. The challenge? Take a moment today to appreciate how much God is working in your life—because His care for you is greater than you realize!
Do you realize how much God cares about you?
Matthew 6:28-30 is one of my favorite Bible verses because God made it real to me during a seemingly hopeless time in my life. It says:
"And why care you then for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They labor not nether spin. And yet for all that I say unto you that even Solomon in all his royalty was not arrayed like unto one of these. Wherefore if God so cloth the grass, which is to day in the field, and tomorrow shall be cast in to the furnace: shall he not much more do the same unto you, o you of little faith?" - The Matthew Bible: Modern Spelling Edition
Have you ever thought of vibrant flowers as just grass that God has dressed up with pretty skirts? Or how He takes something that seems so worthless and insignificant and makes it incredibly beautiful? It may seem simple, but I think many people miss the depth of this message. Just think—people pay to visit botanical gardens just to see this 'grass' that God has dressed up! And yet, how much more valuable are you? Your soul is worth more than the entire world to God—more than everything combined! Know that if you have a need and are calling out for help in sincerity, you have God’s ear! As Peter said, "For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and His ears are open unto their prayers.''
Reflecting on this truth reminds me of how much I personally love flowers. They’ve always been some of the most amazing creations to me. In fact, during one of the darkest times in our lives, when everything seemed impossible to fix, this very message brought us comfort. We were in one of hardest times we had ever faced and it felt like there was no way out. It was a situation that affected our well being, our finances, and many other things. I could not see a way out. It was then that my husband Nathan reminded me of these verses while picking a nearby stem and pulling off the flower. He said "look, it’s just a weed until God dresses it. And he cares so much about that weed that he makes beautiful clothes for it. But… he cares so much more for us than this weed and he has our situation in his control."
Now that I think back to that time, God not only fixed that very terrible situation, but he also blessed us with so much more than I ever dreamed he would! And something I just realized….he made that flower for us too! And many more just like it! That’s how much he cares!
Key Takeaway
Even though you can’t see God in the same way you see flowers, you can understand who He is and feel His power by looking at everything He’s created. This story carries a powerful message of God’s deep care for His creation—and especially for you. Just as He clothes the lilies of the field in a beauty that even kings can’t match, God is more than able to take care of your needs, no matter how overwhelming they may seem. If God can make something as simple as grass so beautiful, how much more will He care for you, His beloved child?
