Context of Matthew 6:29

27Even if you always worry about your life, you cannot make it as much as one hour longer! 28You should not worry about your clothes. Think about how the wild flowers grow. They do not work or make clothes for themselves. But I tell you this. Even one wild flower is more beautiful than King Solomon was. And King Solomon wore the most beautiful clothes. 30It is God that gives beautiful clothes even to the grass. One day the grass is growing in the field, but the next day people will cut it and burn it. God will certainly take care of you, much more than he takes care of the grass. You should trust him more than you do! 31So do not worry about these things. Do not always say, “What will we eat?”, or “What will we drink?”, or “What will we wear?”

Commentaries on Matthew 6:29

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 29Solomon in all his glory - Some suppose that as the robes of state worn by the eastern kings were usually white, as were those of the nobles among the Jews, that therefore the lily was chosen for the comparison.Read the comment

Take no thought for your life. Not about the length of it; but refer it to God to lengthen…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 25-34Jesus taught people to live without worry by trusting God to provide for them. His disciples abandoned everything (Matthew 4:18–22; 9:9; 10:5–14). Jesus encouraged them that God would provide their needs.Read the comment
