Scripture:
And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, wil he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith. Matthew 6:28-30 About the Images: I am breaking my rule of one picture per day -but these pictures are of the same thing. These are pictures of a Trout Lilly. The first one just beginning to bloom and the second one in full bloom. They were right beside each other on the Cove Hardwood Nature Trail (short 1 mile trail at the Chimneys Picnic area - great place for wildflowers in the spring). There are many flowers on this trail and I had looked over my Flowers of the Smokies book in hopes of being able to identify them. I wanted especially to see a trout lily because it looked so interesting in the picture. What I wasn't paying attention to in the book was the size. Because I was looking for something big like Tiger Lilies, I almost missed these. This flower was only about 4 inches tall and the bloom is only about an inch. It was hard to get this picture because I actually had to lay the camera on the ground and get down on the ground myself. God made this very small flower, easily missed by someone who is not looking for one, so intricate and unusual and beautiful. He promises to meet our needs so we need not worry but only trust him. And I think this flower and this promise tells us that he will do more then just provide for our basic needs but will do so in the same way he makes the flowers, beautiful in the smallest detail.
