The lesson of the lilies is to live simply and focus on God, and He will make use of us every minute of the day. For there’s only one way to develop and grow spiritually…and that’s by focusing on Him alone. Stop worrying about your ministry/service to others – simply pay attention to the Lord and His direction – and out of you “will flow rivers of living water.” (John 7:38) The lilies of the field simply are…just as the sun, the stars, and the moon, but just think of the service they render for all mankind. So consider this, the people that have influenced your walk with Jesus the most have not talked you to death, but rather, they have lived their lives like the lilies of the field…simply open and obedient…all the while molding and shaping you into the Godly person you are today.
