Luke 12:29

29 And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

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 how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith!

29 And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

30 For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31 But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.
