I remember the monarchy’s coronations and highlights of marriages and awards. Images of rows of royal guards in their red and black, white horses and gloss black carriages, gold crowns and silk, velvety robes. As the pomp and ceremony captivate our eyes we hear Jesus saying, “Not even the queen, dressed in all her splendor was dressed like the lily.” These are powerful pictures that if God takes such intricate interest in birds that flutter here and there and flowers which fade with the seasons, we need not worry about his care of us since, as Peter tells us, “The Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.” (1 Peter 4:14)
