Beautiful Phrases of the Bible #4

Matthew 6:28-30: And why take ye thought of raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin. And yet I say unto you. That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast unto the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

What makes this phrase beautiful are the words, "Consider the lilies of the field ..." as they are beautiful words that elicit detailed imagery. The analogy is precious and pierces even the most troubled soul. Proof of this beauty is the 1963 film named for this bible verse where Sidney Poitier won the Oscar for best Actor. The Lord knows the power of symbology and this verse exemplifies it and glories him.
