Last week I was in a service where we sang the hymn, Lily of the Valley. I've heard this song many times, but never really paid attention to the lyrics until this past Sunday.
Apparently, the idea behind writing the Lily of the Valley was that it was a description of a wild plant that would grow in and among the food crops of the Israelites. It’s presence in the field was unmistakable, because it produced flowers of bright and beautiful colors.
These are the same plants to which Jesus referred when He asked His disciples to “Consider the lilies of the field.” The people were worrying about material things like food and clothing, and Jesus explained that, just as the Father clothed the flowers in beautiful array, so would He take care of the daily needs of His children.
What a beautiful description of our Savior.
