Matthew 6:29 yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.
Matthew 6:30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!

Study Lenses
The verse centers on "even", "solomon", "glory", "clothed", "himself", and "like". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "even" and "solomon", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 28's "And why are you worried about clothing..." into verse 30's "But if God so clothes the grass...", so "even" and "solomon" belong inside that flow. In Matthew context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "even" and "solomon" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
