“Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil
not neither do they spin and yet... even Solomon in all his glory was not
arrayed like one of these.”
Roger Hoffman wrote a
beautiful song about this scripture found in Matthew 6:25-34. It is the last
verse of that song that touches me so deeply.
“Consider the sweet, tender children. Who must
suffer on the earth. The pains of all of them he carried from the day of his
birth.”
Are we not all children of the same Father in Heaven and he sent
his Only Begotten Son to carry the pains of all of us that we might sit down
with him in his Father and our Father’s house in Heaven. I could quit right
there and that would be a powerful message, but I want to say something about
taking no thought for tomorrow. “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness,
and these things shall be added unto you.”
If we seek the kingdom of God, if we follow the commandments,
if we pray and follow the Holy Spirit we will have the things we need. That does
not mean that we will have everything we want, but the things we need.
Sometimes what we need is difficult experiences to make us overcome our weakness
that we will call upon God. The most spiritual people I known including my Lord
and savior Jesus Christ have over great trials and tribulations.
