Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 12:30

"For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things." — Luke 12:30 (ASV)

For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

Therefore, he would have you live so—industriously, prudently, thriftily—that you will get these things and will not waste them when you have them. But he would not have you live in an anxious, worrying, depressed spirit, as if you had no God, no Heavenly Father, no all-sufficient Friend; and as if there were no all-wise providence, and you were left to drift about uncared for and alone. It is not so. O you God of the lilies and God of the ravens, you will be the God of your people too!
