12. 03.11.2012 12 Luke 10:38-42 (ESV) 38 Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house.

13. 03.11.2012 13 Luke 10:38-42 (ESV) 39 And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching.

14. 03.11.2012 14 Luke 10:38-42 (ESV) 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.”

15. 03.11.2012 15 Luke 10:38-42 (ESV) 41 But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,

16. 03.11.2012 16 Luke 10:38-42 (ESV) 42 but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”

17. 03.11.2012 17 1 Peter 2:1-3, 9 (ESV) 1 So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander.

18. 03.11.2012 18 1 Peter 2:1-3, 9 (ESV) 2 Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation—

19. 03.11.2012 19 1 Peter 2:1-3, 9 (ESV) 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.

20. 03.11.2012 20 1 Peter 2:1-3, 9 (ESV) 9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

21. 03.11.2012 21 2 Peter 1:3-4 (ESV) 3 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence,

22. 03.11.2012 22 2 Peter 1:3-4 (ESV) 4 by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.

23. 03.11.2012 23 Psalm 27:4 (ESV) 4 One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple.

24. 03.11.2012 24 Philippians 3:13 (ESV) 13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,

25. 03.11.2012 25 Matthew 6:31-33 (ESV) 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

26. 03.11.2012 26 Matthew 6:31-33 (ESV) 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.

27. 03.11.2012 27 Matthew 6:31-33 (ESV) 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
