Cristian providence: Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Luke 12:27

Having completed his spiritual activity in Galilee, Jesus left the region and decided to go to the city of Jerusalem. During his journey, the Gospel of Luke recounts that Jesus left many teachings about the Kingdom of God to his disciples.
And according to Luke's account, Jesus spoke to them about the importance of providence. This teaching from Luke's Gospel is curiously found in Matthew's Gospel as belonging to the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount, but it is not found in the Gospels of Mark or John. This teaching that Jesus left is very representative of the spiritual man and the teachings of the Kingdom of God, and explains the attitude that every follower of Jesus should have, and it begins with these words: "Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, 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, how much more will he clothe you." Luke 12:27-28.
Jesus warned that worldly worries stifle the gifts of faith and hope, and that greed and avarice lead people to sin and forget their relationship with God. Trusting in Christian providence is fundamental to making the beatitudes taught by Jesus bear fruit; God with his infinite spiritual love, provides for his children. This is a way of saying that there is a true and false fear; men should not be feared but only God, or in other words, the true concern should be spiritual goods, like mercy (compassion, kindness, gentleness) or perseverance, because it is from them that true happiness comes. In a world where error and passions prevail, this seems like folly, but in reality, it is true wisdom. This does not mean that people should go through life distracted, failing to detect the traps that appear around every corner; every Christian must live prepared, but without being carried away by the worries of worldly people. Trusting in the divine providence is a real challenge, but it makes men truly sensible.
