Matthew 6 Set of 3: Look at the Birds, Consider the Lilies, Do Not Worry

Three prints follow one passage of the Sermon on the Mount from start to finish: the birds of verse 26, the lilies of verses 28 and 29, and the closing word about tomorrow in verse 34. Each design pairs its verse with one botanical motif, a sparrow, a white lily or an olive sprig, on the same pale ground. Hung together they read in order, and each one also stands on its own in a separate room.

How the three verses of Matthew 6 fit together

Matthew 6:25-34 is one argument against worry, and the three prints follow its steps. First the birds: they 'do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.' Then the flowers of the field, which 'do not labor or spin,' yet Solomon in all his splendor was not dressed like one of them. Verse 34 draws the conclusion: 'Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.' Read from left to right, the set moves from what God does for birds and flowers to what that means for the person standing in front of the wall, so it is worth hanging the prints in that order.

Sparrow, lily and olive sprig on pale sage

All three designs share one layout. A small flourish sits at the top, then the heading SERMON ON THE MOUNT in spaced capitals and the title in a dark green serif: LOOK AT THE BIRDS, CONSIDER THE LILIES or DO NOT WORRY. Under each title is a single botanical drawing in a vintage engraving style, fine dark outlines with soft color: a brown sparrow on a leafy branch, a white lily with a bud, and an olive sprig with small green olives. The verse follows in italic, the reference in small capitals, and a thin line border with corner marks frames each page. The botanical artwork was created with AI tools from our own prompts and creative direction, then edited further.

Hanging the set in a row or as one large and two small

Three frames of the same size in a row make the simplest arrangement, above a sofa or along a hallway, and the verses then read in order from left to right. For a narrower wall, one large print beside two smaller ones stacked on top of each other works well; the product photos show Look at the Birds at a larger size with the lilies and Do Not Worry beside it. Because every design comes in all nine sizes, you can mix sizes freely. The set suits a living room or a nursery, and it makes a housewarming or baptism gift with a little more weight than a single print.

Fifty-four files in nine sizes

Each of the three designs comes in nine finished sizes: 5x7, 8x10, 11x14, 16x20, 16x24, 18x24 and 24x36 inches, plus A4 and A3. Every size is there as a JPG and as a PDF at 300 DPI, which adds up to 27 JPGs and 27 PDFs. Since each size is cut to its own proportions, you pick the frame first and print the file of the same size without cropping. When you print the three for one wall, use the same paper and the same printer or shop for all of them, so the pale sage ground matches from frame to frame. Matte paper keeps the greens soft and avoids glare behind glass.

Can I print one large and two small?

Yes. Every design comes in all nine sizes, so you can print Look at the Birds at 16x20 and the lilies and Do Not Worry at 8x10, for example, or any mix that suits your wall. Keep the larger print on the side where the eye starts, usually the left, so the verses still read in their Bible order.

Where can the three hang if not side by side?

They work spread through a home just as well. Look at the Birds suits a nursery or a child's room, the lilies a bedroom or a guest room, and Do Not Worry an office or the wall by the front door where the day starts. Because they share one style, the rooms still feel connected.
