Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 12:29
And seek ye not what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.This is not teaching that a Christian should renounce thoughtful prudence in making a living for himself and family; but it is a demotion of even such basic things as food and drink to a lesser priority than that of seeking the kingdom of God. That such basic things are indeed legitimate... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 12:31
Yet seek ye his kingdom, and these things shall be added unto you.This verse is the climax of the teaching. Seeking God's kingdom should be made the supreme goal of every life; and coupled with the admonition is God's promise that the seeker shall not lack for basic necessities.The kingdom had not at this time been established; hence he could speak of it in the future; that it would be given to them.

Not even fear of poverty should prevent almsgiving. One is almost compelled to seek a relative meaning here.... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 12:29
Luke 12:29. Neither be ye of doubtful mind.— Neither be ye set afloat [with desire] Μη μετεωριζεσθε : "Be not (like meteors in the air, which are tossed about by every blast of wind) hurried with anxious cares, and agitated with a variety of restless and uneasy thoughts." Any speculations and musings, in which the mind fluctuates or is suspended in an uneasy hesitation, might well be expressed by the word μετεωριζω . read more
