“Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin…”
— Matthew 6:28–30 NASB1995
🌸 God’s Provision, Not Performance
Lilies don’t strive. They don’t hustle. Yet they radiate beauty because God clothes them. Jesus points to these flowers and says: “This is how your Father cares for you.”
We are not called to live stressed-out, performance-driven lives in His Kingdom. Instead, we are called to trust the same God who paints the flowers.
🔗 Ante-Nicene Reflection
The early church taught believers to rely on God’s care rather than earthly systems. They believed God’s provision was not only sufficient—it was glorious.
💭 Reflect:
- Where am I striving instead of trusting?
- What does it look like to live clothed in God’s care?
✨ Prayer:
Father, forgive me for measuring my worth by what I do. Help me trust Your care and rest in Your faithful provision. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
