Contextual Overview

22Jesus said to His disciples, "For this reason I tell you, do not worry about your life, as to what you will eat; or about your body, as to what you will wear. 23"For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24"Consider the ravens, for they neither sow [seed] nor reap [the crop]; they have no storehouse or barn, and yet God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than the birds! 25"And which of you by worrying can add one hour to his life's span? 26"So if you are not even able to do a very little thing [such as that], why are you worried about the rest? 27"Consider the lilies and wildflowers, how they grow [in the open field]. They neither labor nor spin [wool to make clothing]; yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory and splendor dressed himself like one of these. 28"But if this is how God clothes the grass which is in the field today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? You of little faith! 29"So as for you, do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink; nor have an anxious and unsettled mind. 30For all the [pagan] nations of the world greedily seek these things; and your [heavenly] Father [already] knows that you need them. 31"But [strive for and actively] seek His kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For where your treasure is,.... Whether in heaven, or in earth, there will your heart be also: the heart is always set upon the treasure, and as is a man's treasure, such is his heart, that is, set upon it; if his treasure is only here, and he has not the true riches, his heart is only earthly and carnal; but if his treasure is heavenly, his heart and conversation will be in heaven;

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 34. Where your treasure is — Men fix their hearts on their treasures, and often resort to the place where they have deposited them, to see that all is safe and secure. Let God be the treasure of your soul, and let your heart go frequently to the place where his honour dwelleth. There is a curious parallel passage to this in Plautus, quoted by Bishop Pearce on Matthew 6:21. Nam ego sum hic; animus domi est, sc. cum argento meo. "I am here; but my heart is at home, i.e. with my money."
