Shall He Not Much More Clothe You?

"Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?"

-Matthew 6:30

In Malachi 3:10 it says, "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse...and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it." I remember as my boys were younger that we would receive bags of clothes that cousins had passed down to us. At one point I had so many boxes of clothes for them to grow into that I thought of this scripture. My family has truly been blessed by the Lord. 

I have even been blessed by friends throughout the years who have asked if I'd like some clothes. These offers have been a blessing since I'm not much of a shopper or a spender. I'm much better at being frugal. During Covid I learned the joy of buying a bunch of clothes and taking them home to try on and then taking them back. I still laugh that they had to take the dressing rooms away for me to learn that it's fun to buy a bunch of clothes. 

It starting to feel like I need to go buy a bunch of clothes again, but even if I don't I am grateful that I have clothes to wear in many settings. I am thankful that I can be comfortable and that I am able to present myself well. I am thankful that the Lord will clothe me just as he does the grass of the field. 

I am grateful for clothes to wear!
