Wild Flowers

Jesus said to consider the flowers out in the field. Consider means more than just take a quick look.

What about these flowers? They have no gardener. They have no one to make sure they get the right amount of water.

Yet they grow and as we examine them, we find them intricately made. He compares them with how Solomon dressed.

Another rich king, in China, Kublai Khan, gave parties where the guests wore outfits that cost a years wages. He provided them.

And here are flowers out far in the field. We have to walk out from the road to see them. And the closer we look the more beautiful we find them.

What is his point? Your Father in heaven gives them their clothes. And he knows you need clothes, too. Will he forget you as he remembers the wild flowers?

If you stop worrying about your daily needs, what should you do with your time? Seek the kingdom of God, and his righteousness.

Again, seeking is not done in a few minutes. It takes time and effort to do this. The kingdom of God was important to Jesus. He talked about it a lot. Check out the many parables he used.
