Looking at the Lilies

Saturday, April 7 / Luke 12:8-34

God provides. Jesus offers reassurance of that in today’s passage. “Don’t worry about everyday life…Look at the ravens…” God feeds them. “Look at the lilies…” God dresses them. And God will provide His children with everything we need as well.

On this day after the darkness of Good Friday, I’m thinking of lilies, those beautiful flowers of this holy season. Majestic symbols of purity, hope and resurrection. Exquisite reminders of God’s love, they speak this morning.

God provides. Look at the lilies. Look at the cross. Look at the empty tomb. God has provided a Savior.

And if He, loving us this much, has provided for our most important and eternal need, can’t we trust Him for mere earthly needs as well? Yes, yes, yes! To be reminded of His loving promise, I need only look at the lilies.

This morning I celebrate in anticipation of tomorrow’s glory. Just look at the lilies--God provides!
