Mat 6:25-34 | Family | STEP | Take no thought ; no anxious thought, as the original word implies. More ; more valuable. Meat ; any kind of food for the support of the body. The argument is, that he who has given the greater gift, will not withhold the less. Anxiety about future support and comfort in this world is needless, hurtful, and wicked; for present obedience to God will insure all needed good.

Matthew 6:25-34

Take no thought; no anxious thought, as the original word implies.

More; more valuable.

Meat; any kind of food for the support of the body. The argument is, that he who has given the greater gift, will not withhold the less. Anxiety about future support and comfort in this world is needless, hurtful, and wicked; for present obedience to God will insure all needed good. Better; more valuable. Unto his stature; better, to his age; that is, by all his anxiety prolong his life a moment beyond his appointed time. For measure, as applied to time, compare Ps 39:4. Cast into the oven; cut down for fuel, and burnt.

Little faith; little confidence in God. Gentiles; those who know not God.

Knoweth; he is acquainted with your wants, and in the proper use of means, without your anxiety, he will supply them. See ye first; seek first an interest in the blessings of Christ's righteousness and reign. Chap Mt 3:2.

All these things; all needed good he will bestow. Shall take thought; the future will bring its supply.
