3. PSALM 142:1-4 “I cry out to the Lord with my voice; with my voice to the Lord I make my supplication. I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare before Him my trouble. When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then You knew my path. In the way in which I walk they have secretly set a snare for me. Look on my right hand and see, for there is no one who acknowledges me; refuge has failed me; no one cares for my soul”

4. 1 Peter 5:7 “Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you” “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?”

5. “Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows” (Lk. 12:6, 7) Jesus Notices All Things (Great & Small) “Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows” (Lk. 12:6, 7) “...And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will” (Matt. 10:29) see also Luke 12:22-34

Gen. 33:19, 20) Sitting by a well, at noon (v. 6) Jesus ignored social prejudices (v. 9) Jesus shifts the attention to her need of “living water” and appeals to her curiosity (v. 10) Woman still focused on physical (vv. 11, 12) Jesus appeals to eternal water (vv. 13, 14) Woman still not perceiving the spiritual nature of this water (v. 15; cf. 6:30-34) Jesus knew her life’s story (vv. 16-19)!

15. Matthew 5:6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled” physical food and water sustains physical life spiritual food and drink sustains the soul’s life 1.by such an illustration, Jesus demonstrates our daily dependence upon God 2.by such an illustration Jesus shows that there is more to life than what we touch and taste

16. John 6:26, 27 “Jesus answered them and said, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him” rebuked because of physical interest admonished to seek the eternal food

17. Many (Today) only seek physical fulfillment in religion change the purpose of the church to a physical and carnal outreach “...who suppose godliness is a means of gain” (1 Tim. 6:5) “for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” (Rom. 14:17)
