When Jesus said “Consider the lilies of the field,” we tend to picture the majestic white Madonna lily. But it may have actually been these pretty red anemones that Jesus was looking at as he addressed the crowd!

🔗 @bibleplaces notes that “Traditionally, these are the lilies of field to which Jesus compares Solomon in all his glory” (Matt. 6:28, Luke 12:27). https://buff.ly/Dy7rCb3

What comes to mind when you think of “spirit”? In Hebrew, “ruach” encompasses wind, breath, and spirit. Like when God’s Spirit brings the dry bones to life in Ezekiel 37, or when Jesus explains the Spirit to Nicodemus in John 3. It’s a powerful little word!
