I don’t know if that was a sarcastic comment or not. The whole point of those scriptures is that we’re not to worry; not that we’re not work. Big difference.
For example, he says He provides food for the sparrows. Does that mean the sparrows just throw their heads back and the worms fall from heaven? No...they work for their food. What the Lord says is that he will provide their food.
We’re to use the brains that God gave us —the common sense and the perception we’ve been gifted with as we’re made in His image —and to be prudent......not to worry.....not to wring our hands.....
Don't try to over-think it. Try instead just to judge the merits of an argument based on its rationality, factuality, and logic.
The whole point of those scriptures is that we’re not to worry; not that we’re not [to] work [...]
...they toil not, neither do they spin ... if God so clothe the grass of the field ... shall he [i.e., God] not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Seems clear to me that Christ is saying that God will clothe us. Consider his listeners (as I'm sure Christ did): How would they have understood that statement? As some allegorical or eschatological promise about the Hereafter? No, these listeners were simple people - many of which had empty bellies. Undoubtedly, they would have interpreted his words to mean that we should not toil, nor spin, because God will [somehow] provide us with those items. There's really very little to quibble about here. Christ is using concrete language. He is not referring to "celestial raiment" (which he could have easily mentioned explicitly, had that been his intent) but rather to actual clothing.
...and all these things shall be added unto you...
Again: Not florid imagery, but concrete things will be placed at our disposal.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow...
In other words: DON'T PREPARE!
