Behold the lilies of the field,
they neither toil nor sow;
yet God does all things needful yield
that they may live and grow.
Not Solomon in glory shone
like one of these poor flowers,
that look to God and God alone
for sunshine and for showers.
And does his mercy value less
the offspring of his grace?
And will a Father's love not bless
the child that seeks his face?
He is our Father, and he knows
his earthly children's need:
on all our daily wants and woes
he looks with careful heed.
O then away with fear and care
for all that may betide;
and turn to God in trustful prayer,
and in his love confide.

If you’re working hard to make a living,
Never taking time to smell the roses,
Now’s the time to heed the Bible’s wisdom:
Find true joy before your life’s day closes. —Hess
Come apart and rest awhile or you may just plain come apart! —Havner
His delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. —Psalm 1:2
