One thing needful. Sit at the feet of Jesus
We see by faith. We walk by faith and not by sight.
Isaiah 60:2
For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people;
But the LORD will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you.
See that you are not troubled
Matthew 24:6-8
And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
The rapture can happen anytime. It is not on the fulfilment of any prophecy on the last day.
Acts 2:17-18
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
We are looking forward to world wide revival.

Today u shall be with Me in paradise.
Whoever call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
The elder son has been trying to earn favour from his father. He is operating like a slave.

We now stand before the Lord as the son.
Luke 15:31

Had given all things into His hands
When you know you are seated with Christ, only then you can serve others and wash their feet.
People who are proud are insecure.
Jesus knowing the Father has given all things into His hands and come from God and going to God, in that knowing He rose and began to wash His disciples’ feet.

Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
I AM the resurrection and the life

Live in the NOW
Does not overthink it
Be presence with your relationship with your family and loved ones.

See the good in the now.
This coming week
Matthew 6:34 NIV
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 6:34 MSG
“Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.

When you live in the NOW, you are mentally sound, and even physically.
Disease is caused by dis-ease
Matthew 6:30-34
“If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don’t you think he’ll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I’m trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God’s giving. People who don’t know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.
“Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.
All the favour we need in the relationship will be there when we live in the NOW.
Enjoy the NOW
Be in the presence.
