Consider the Lilies
Matthew 6:28
And why take you thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:


I. THE OBJECTS TO WHICH HE DIRECTS US FOR THE LESSON HE WOULD TEACH.

II. THE LESSON ITSELF. God takes care of the lilies; the inference(1) From the less to the greater;

(2) From the gift to the recipient. Shall God follow the gift with so much interest and be unmindful of him for whom it is intended;

(3) From the ornamental to the needful.

III. THE REBUKE TO UNBELIEF AND CALL FOR FAITH.

(C. M. Merry.)
