Luke 12:29

29 And you, do not consider what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not be anxious.

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 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they do not toil or spin, but I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was dressed like one of these.

28 But if God clothes the grass in the field in this way, [although it] is [here] today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more [will he do so for] you, you of little faith?

29 And you, do not consider what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not be anxious.

30 For all the nations of the world seek after these [things], and your Father knows that you need these [things].

31 But seek his kingdom and these [things] will be added to you.
