What do the lilies of the field teach about how I look and what I own?
Christ goes on: why do you take thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, neither do they spin. We put too much emphasis on our clothing, the things we purchase, the things that adorn us. But all adornment is from God. The lilies of the field think nothing, and yet they are majestic. And he is not just talking about the worldly aspects of our clothing.
The very core and essence of who we are as a person needs to be clothed in godliness, not focused on how we look, how we dress, what kind of car we drive, what kind of jewelry we wear. We need to think about him and stay focused on him, not the things of this world.
Matthew 6:28-30
