Luke 12:29

29 And do not give overmuch thought to your food and drink, and let not your mind be full of doubts.

Luke 12:29 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 12:29

And seek not what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink,
&c.] That is, in an anxious and distressing manner, with a tormenting and vexatious care; otherwise food is to be both asked of God every day, and to be sought for and after in the use of proper means:

neither be ye of doubtful minds;
questioning and distrusting that ye shall have any thing to eat or drink: be not fickle, unstable, and inconstant, and wandering in your thoughts about these things, like the meteors in the air, which are carried about here and there; let not your minds be disturbed and distracted about them; or be anxiously solicitous for them; (See Gill on Matthew 6:31).

Luke 12:29 In-Context

27 Give thought to the flowers: they do no work, they make no thread; and still I say to you, Even Solomon, in all his glory, was not clothed like one of these.

28 But if God gives such clothing to the grass in the field, which today is living, and tomorrow will be burned in the oven, how much more will he give clothing to you, O men of little faith?

29 And do not give overmuch thought to your food and drink, and let not your mind be full of doubts.

30 For the nations of the world go in search of all these things: but your Father has knowledge that you have need of them.

31 But let your chief care be for his kingdom, and these other things will be given to you in addition.
