#84 - Joby Martin // Bringing Our Anxieties to Jesus

The first of Jesus's miraculous signs offers profound insights on bringing our needs to God, regardless of how small they may seem. • Jesus performs His first miracle at a wedding in Cana by turning water into wine • Running out of wine at a first-century wedding would have brought severe social shame to the bridegroom • Mary approaches Jesus with this problem despite Him having performed no previous miracles • Mary's actions demonstrate we should bring all our needs to Jesus, even temporary physical ones • Paul instructs believers in Philippians 4:6-7 to counter anxiety by making requests known to God • The promise isn't necessarily changed circumstances but "peace that surpasses all understanding" • We're invited to cast our cares upon God because He cares for us • Instead of carrying burdens that weigh us down, we should carry them to Jesus in prayer If you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five-star rating and review.
