“Lilies of the Field”
Matthew 6:25-33 says:
“Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? Or, What shall we drink? Or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek: ) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
The Lord knows each one of our needs. Do we trust him in all things, or are we of little faith? In the Joseph Smith Translation of Matthew 6:33 it says ®Wherefore, seek not the things of this world but seek ye first to build up the kingdom of God, and to establish his righteousness...® If we are seeking first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, then the Lord will bless us with everything that we need. The Lord takes care of the ®Lilies of the Field,® and he will take care of us.
