Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 6:30

"But if God doth 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?" — Matthew 6:30 (ASV)

It is not merely that lilies grow, but that God Himself clothes them with surpassing beauty. These lilies, when growing, appear only as the grass, commonplace enough, but Solomon could not excel them when God has put them in their full array of cloth of gold. Will He not be sure to take care of us, who are precious in His sight? Why should we be so little trustful as to have a doubt on that point?

If that which is so very short-lived is yet so bedecked by the Lord, depend on it, He will guard immortal minds and even the mortal bodies with which they are associated. “Little faith” is not a little fault, for it greatly wrongs the Lord and sadly grieves the fretful mind. To think the Lord who clothes lilies will leave His own children naked is shameful. O little faith, learn better manners!
