God Cares for You More
Jesus points to wildflowers, which commentators note were likely common flowers like lilies, poppies, or irises. God clothes these temporary plants with a beauty that surpasses even the richest king, Solomon. The argument is simple: if God lavishes such care on a flower that is here today and gone tomorrow, how much more will He care for and provide for you, His eternal child? This is a powerful reason to trust Him and not be anxious about basic needs.
