What does Luke 12:29 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
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).
