About

The name “Labor of Lilies” is a paradox. Jesus told his followers that the lilies neither labor nor spin, and yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as one of these (Matthew 6:28-29). The name means to point to the sovereignty of God and his provision in the lives of his children. When should we begin to worry about circumstances? When the lilies of the field begin to labor for their beauty. Just as God gives the fields their beauty, according to his will, so God (in his perfect timing) will see to his children. In Philippians 4:6, we are told that we can bring every situation to the feet of the Savior. Labor of Lilies aims to be a place of Biblical ideas and encouragement for women seeking the face of God through Scripture. We explore various topics related to Bible study and Christian living. May the content encourage and ultimately point towards the one who is able to answer prayers, bestow wisdom, and give us the ultimate creative (and holy) solutions.

About the Author

Greetings, Friend!

Thanks for stopping by. I’d like to formally introduce myself, my name is Sarah (a.k.a. Labor of Lilies). I am crazy about the Bible and all things related to walking with our Lord Jesus!

I was homeschooled from a young age and graduated to go on to university. I know what it’s like to live the homeschool lifestyle and try to navigate the college scene as a young Christian. Today, I am fascinated by Biblical languages and their applications (both in personal study of the Bible and in apologetics).

I sincerely hope the content here inspires study of God’s word, offers encouragement for believers, and sparks some helpful ideas for everyday living.

God bless,

Sarah
