Matthew 6:30 Context
28And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lillies of the field, how they grow: they toile not, neither doe they spinne. 29And yet I say vnto you, that euen Solomon in all his glory, was not arayed like one of these. 30Wherefore, if God so clothe the grasse of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the ouen: shall he not much more clothe you, O yee of little faith? 31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eate? or, what shall we drinke? or wherewithall shall wee be clothed? 32(For after all these things doe the Gentiles seeke:) for your heauenly father knoweth that ye haue neede of all these things.

6:30 The grass of the field - is a general expression, including both herbs and flowers. Into the still - This is the natural sense of the passage. For it can hardly be supposed that grass or flowers should be thrown into the oven the day after they were cut down. Neither is it the custom in the hottest countries, where they dry fastest, to heat ovens with them. If God so clothe - The word properly implies, the putting on a complete dress, that surrounds the body on all sides; and beautifully expresses that external membrane, which (like the skin in a human body) at once adorns the tender fabric of the vegetable, and guards it from the injuries of the weather.
