"But if God doth so clothe the grass in the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven; how much more [shall he clothe] you, O ye of little faith?" — Luke 12:28 (ASV)
If then God so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith!
But you have some faith, else the Saviour would not have said to you, O ye of little faith! The man who has no faith may well go on fretting, toiling, spinning; but he who has faith, as he goes forth to his daily labour, looks beyond that to the God of providence, and thus God keeps him without care, and provides for him.
If then God so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Your life is not like that of the grass, or the flower of the field, that fades on a summer's day. God will take care of you, and everlasting things will receive from him even greater care than he gives to the temporal. Yet how much God really does for flowers that only open their cups in the morning, and shut them in death at night! How much skill and wisdom there is even about them! Will there not be greater skill and wisdom employed upon you who, when you have once begun to bloom in the light of God, will go on blooming, and flowering, and shedding your perfume throughout the endless ages?
