Consider The Lilies

Consider the Lilies

Do you long to see miracles?

Consider the lilies.

God grows them.

God paints them.

Their beauty—stunning.

A miracle.

Consider the sparrow.

A tiny life totally reliant on God.

To feed, to shelter, to thrive.

Listen to its song.

A miracle.

Look at your own hands.

They give, serve, create.

Each hand a miracle.

Today be aware.

There are miracles all around you.

***

Emily Dickinson

The only Commandment

I ever obeyed —

“Consider the Lilies.”

***

Matthew 6:28

Consider the lilies how they grow:

they toil not, they spin not;

and yet I say unto you,

that Solomon in all his glory

was not arrayed like one of these.
