Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 12:21-23

"So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for [your] life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. For the life is more than the food, and the body than the raiment." — Luke 12:21-23 (ASV)

So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.

Do not spend your care on the lower things; care most for that which is most worth caring for—more for the body than for clothing, more for life than for food, and consequently, more for the immortal spirit than for anything else, and more for God even than for your own soul. Let your cares be rated according to their objects; to set a caring, anxious care upon the lesser things will be folly indeed.
