Anxious?

Mo. 4/9/12: Matthew 6:26 – 27 (NKJV)                            Why should we NOT worry?

Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
 Why should we NOT worry? Worrying doesn't help: ask God.

Tu. 4/10/12: Luke 10:40 – 42 (NKJV)                                    What makes us worried?

But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.” And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
What makes us worried? Normal work does leave us worried. Listen to Christ.

We. 4/11/12: 1 Corinthians 12:24b – 26 (NKJV)                What is the sign of caring?           

But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
What is the sign of caring? Taking care of other believers in your group is caring.

Th. 4/12/12: Philippians 2:19 – 20 (NKJV)                               What is sincere caring?

But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged when I know your state. For I have no one like-minded, who will sincerely care for your state.
 What is sincere caring? Someone who prays regularly for you sincerely cares.

Fr. 4/13/12: Philippians 4:6 – 7 (NKJV)                What should we be anxious about?

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
What should we be anxious about? We should not be anxious: make your request to God and await His answer.
