Consider the lilies of the field

Scripture: “Why worry about clothes? You like lilies of the field, how they grow.” (Matthew June 28) *

Once there was a Christian planted an olive tree. He prayed: “O God, it needs a good call soft water was absorbed by the root hair. Find moisture down rain.” God to rain down. He prayed: “O God, my tree needs sunlight, daylight I pray to it.” Then scattered rain clouds ended, God gave it light. He then prayed: “O God, and now it needs to cream to firm it is organized.” Behold, the young plants growing on a thin layer of frost cover indeed. But by the evening, it was dead.

So he went to see a Christian, told his own strange experience. The Christian said: “I planted a small tree. Behold, how long now flourish. I do not speak for my tree a little heart, just give it to its God. Made it God knows it needs far more than ignorant people like me. So I do not set conditions to God, suggestions, methods. I prayed: O God ?, it needs to give it, whether it is wind, rain, frost, is snow, sunlight, what … you must know it, they will certainly supply it ?.”

“Spirit of the LORD who had instructed, or as his counselor teach him?” (Isaiah 40:13) **

Editor’s Notes:

* I assume the writer translated from a Chinese version. More familiarly, using the 2001 English standard version: Matthew 6:28 – And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,

** 2001 English standard version: Isaiah 40:13 – Who has measured the Spirit of the LORD, or what man shows him his counsel?
