Note 43 at Mt 6:25: The Greek word used here for "thought" is "MERIMNAO" and denotes "to be anxious about" (Strong's Concordance) (example: 1Sa 9:5). In this account (Mt 6:25-34), as well as the same account found in Lu 12:22-32, Jesus was commanding us not to worry or be anxious about our material needs being met. It would not be possible to have no thought whatsoever about our physical needs. Even Jesus thought about His need for money to pay taxes (Mt 17:24-27). We are simply not to be occupied with thinking about riches or spend time worrying about our necessities. They will be added unto us as we seek first the kingdom of God.
