'lily of the field'....what does this phrase mean?

well, i know its used to describe someone...but is it a compliment...and what does it mean???

'lily of the field'....what does this phrase mean?
Words of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, encouraging his followers not to worry about their worldly needs: “Why take ye thought for raiment [clothing]? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin. And yet I say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.”





"Lilies of the Field," a 1962 book by William Edmund Barrett, is the story of a Black-American itinerant worker who encounters a group of East German nuns who feel he has been sent to them by God to help them build a new chapel. The nuns are the symbolic lilies of the field.
Reply:Its from the bible: Look at the lilies of the field and the birds in the sky, they dont seed and they dont harvest and they live
