**********

Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but doesn't get you anywhere.

***

Phil 4:6-7

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (NIV)

BIBLE QUIZ:

**********

(Old Testament/Book of Ruth) - When Naomi realized that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped urging her. So the two women went on until they came to Bethlehem.

When they arrived in Bethlehem, the whole town was ____________ because of them, and the women exclaimed, "Can this be Naomi?" "Don't call me Naomi," she told them. "Call me _________, because the Almighty has made my life very bitter. I went away full, but the LORD has brought me back empty. Why call me Naomi? The LORD has afflicted me; the Almighty has brought misfortune upon me."

So Naomi returned from Moab accompanied by Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, arriving in Bethlehem as the barley harvest was beginning. (Ruth 1: 18-22-NIV)

NOTE: The name Naomi asked to be called by means “bitter”.
