From Spurgeon's "Faith's Check Book"080-Divine Provision |
"Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast
into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?" (Matthew 6:30) Clothes are expensive, and poor believers may be led into anxiety as to where their next
suit will come from. The soles are thin; how shall we get new shoes? See how our thoughtful Lord
has provided against this care. Our heavenly Father clothes the grass of the field with a
splendor such as Solomon could not equal: will He not clothe His own children? We are sure He
will. There may be many a patch and a darn, but raiment we shall have. A poor minister found his clothes nearly threadbare, and so far gone that they would hardly
hold together; but as a servant of the Lord he expected his Master to find him his livery. It
so happened that the writer on a visit to a friend had the loan of the good man's pulpit, and
it came into his mind to make a collection for him, and there was his suit. Many other cases we
have seen in which those who had served the Lord have found Him considerate of their wardrobe.
He who made man so that when he had sinned he needed garments, also in mercy supplied him with
them; and those which the Lord gave to our first parents were far better than those they made
for themselves.
