To consider means to study, contemplate, mull over, or think through. This is not meant to be a quick process. It’s so easy to simply walk by something and forget about it a few minutes later. We need to stop, take our time, and really ‘zoom in’ to appreciate all the details of a flower’s magnificent design.

In our busy world this practice seems counterintuitive because we always so busy. What do we focus on? Sometimes we just need to consciously choose to STOP and then decide to look, listen and cultivate a sense of awe and wonder in our everyday life.

Why worry about your clothing? Consider the flowers of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. If God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?  So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matthew 6: 28 – 33
