"Think of—consider—the lilies of the field," He says, "how they grow! They do not work, they do not spin, and yet King Solomon, in all his glory, was not dressed like one of these lilies. So, if God clothes them like that, how much more will He give you clothes to wear!" That is how the Lord spoke to those men and women and children who listened to Him on the mountain. I was given a bunch of flowers the other day. I sat down at the table, and just thought of all this. Could I make one of those? Think of the root, and the earth to grow it in! Think of the stalk, with its tiny little pipes and channels! Think of leaves all alike, and all on that plant getting nourished from the root. Consider the flowers—so white, so exquisitely made; each little flower a perfect bell. And then the scent—consider the scent of those lilies, which was exactly the same scent fifty years ago, and no other flower has exactly the same smell. I "considered" it all, as our Lord had said, and I bowed my head and worshipped Him, Who liveth for ever and ever! So if at any time a doubt or a faithless fear should enter your heart, just get a daisy, or a buttercup, or a blade of grass, and sit down and think Who made it; and trust Him better. David says, in the eighth Psalm, "When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars which Thou hast ordained; what is man, that Thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that Thou visitest him?" Then our Lord goes on to say, in words like these: "Do not be anxious about what you will have to eat or drink, or what you are going to wear, for your Heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things." I have seen so many instances of God's love and care, both in my own life, and in that of other people! There was a bed-ridden woman who was very poor. The district nurse said to her one morning, "My dear, we want a new bed-jacket, I think." And the dear old invalid looked up brightly in answer: "My Heavenly Father will send me one, just when He thinks it is the right time," she said confidently. And He did send her, two days after, a beautiful warm jacket! She had sought the Kingdom of God first, and He had added to her "all her need." IV. The Sermon on the Mount HOW TO PRAY, AND ENTER IN Here is a wonderful encouragement and a wonderful promise. As our Lord proceeded with the Sermon on that Mount, and as He looked into the anxious, eager faces of the multitude around Him, He revealed to them some of the deepest needs of our hearts. His words are very simple, and the youngest child can understand a little about them. "Ask," He says. If a father or a mother says, "Ask me when you next see me," the child is quite sure he will get his request!
