Just Like the Wildflowers

And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?—Matthew 6:28-30 

I recently had a coworker ask me, “How would you rate your weekend on a scale of dead flower to beautiful rose bush?” I laughed, not quite knowing how to respond. But after thinking for a moment, the best answer I could give her was “wildflower.”  

Wildflowers are beautiful, vibrant, and often full of color. I felt like that accurately described my weekend, but it also represents this season of life that I’m in. I have days that are full of beautiful and fun moments with family and friends, and I feel more brightness with the change of seasons (Goodbye seasonal depression! Hello sunshine!). And yet, this season has been, well, wild. It’s been full of unexpected challenges, a filled schedule, and exhausting labor, which oftentimes, has felt in vain...like I’m putting in all this effort and yet I haven’t met the outcome I’ve been working so hard to get to. Maybe you can relate to this tension.  

I’ve been finding some comfort in Matthew 6. Jesus says, “See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin…will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith.”  

I find that comforting and convicting.  

The flowers of the field do not labor. They are not striving to become more beautiful. No one tends them or waters them, and yet they grow and bloom freely in gardens, among rocks, and through fractures in the pavement beneath our feet.  

I am just like the wildflowers, and so are you. 

I am growing in the middle of unexpected challenges, full schedules, and a season that has demanded much of me. My faith is being refined as I hit the “rocks” and “fractures” of this life and—still—I can be confident that the Lord cares for me. Each day, He clothes me with exactly what I need to face whatever comes, no matter how wild or uncertain it may feel.  

This verse reveals how little trust I sometimes have in the Lord’s provision for my life. When Jesus questions His disciples and the surrounding crowd with, “Will He not much more clothe you—you of little faith?” it feels like Jesus is speaking right to me saying, Megan, do you not trust me? Do you not have faith that I will provide, that I will care for you?  

So where does this leave me? How do I learn to trust God when I’m so often distracted by the wild world around me? At the end of Matthew 6, Jesus gives me an answer: “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”  

So no matter what I face today or tomorrow, I am clinging to this truth. Whether life is beautiful and bright, or challenging and wild, I need to fix my eyes on Him. To abide in his presence through prayer. To be nurtured through his Word by reading Scripture. To be seeking a relationship with Him. To trust that He is tending, watering, and sustaining me just as He does for the wildflowers, clothing me with exactly what I need in this season.
