CONSIDER THE LILIES

Today I was really trying to figure out Matt. 6:28 Consider the Lilies of the Field. I looked in the JST and it talks about seeking first the kingdom of God and not the things of the world. I think Heavenly Father wants us to trust in him. But does He want us to not think about anything worldly? In later verses it talks about taking no thought what to eat, drink or in clothing. That makes it difficult.

I also listened to the Mormon Tabernacle choir singing the song:



Lyrics:
Consider the lilies of the field--how they grow, how they grow.
Consider the birds of the sky--how they fly, how they fly.
He clothes the lilies of the field.
He feeds the birds in the sky and
He will feed those who trust Him and Guide them with His eye.

Consider the sheep of his fold--how they follow where he leads.
Though the path may wind across the mountains,
He knows the meadows where they feed.
He clothes the lilies of the field.
He feeds the birds in the sky and
He will feed those who trust Him and Guide them with His eye.

Consider the sweet tender children who must suffer on this earth.
The pains of all of them he carried from the day of his birth.
He clothes the lilies of the field. He feeds the lambs of his fold and
He will heal those who trust Him and make their hearts as gold.
He clothes the lilies of the field. He feeds the lambs of his fold and
He will heal those who trust Him and make their hearts as gold.
