Consider the lilies, 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. (Luke 12:27)
In our ever changing times there is something reassuring about the way the natural world goes on as usual. Flowers bloom, bees gather on lavender bushes, and when the sun shines as it did last week, everything in the garden is rosy.
We have lived, and continue to live, in the shadow of a global pandemic. Sickness and death have been a daily reality. The lilies in all their magnificent, short-lived glory, cheer and encourage us in the midst of our fear.
As we look to an uncertain future we gaze upon the lilies and wonder at the One who made this thing of such beauty.
