Isaiah 54:10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but My kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of My peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.

Luke 21:36 Jesus says ... Watch ye therefore, and pray always (pray about each troubling thing), that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
***
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

Colossians 1:1-3 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
Comments from Beth Martin:
Sunday I attended my 50th year nursing school class reunion in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I was interested in going to see a friend of mine who had been struggling with a family problem. I asked God about going and received the "go ahead."
My friend did not go so I asked another friend to go. When we got there I did not want to go in early and sat in the lobby visiting with the woman I asked to accompany me. We went in at the appointed start time and started talking with the attendees. (I was approached by some class members years ago about organizing a reunion as I was the class president. I said that I was not interested. I was elected class president after refusing to run. The class voted for me when I was in the bathroom and begged me to do it. I never did know why this happened.)
There were about 30 people. We had a nice lunch .... then took pictures ..... then went on a sightseeing cruise then .... dinner then .... a ride in the incline to the top of Mount Washington. At the top .... the weather was beautiful, the moon full, and the city scape looked so pretty at night. It was 10:30PM when we were back at the hotel. It was a big day for older ladies.
My friend asked me if I had a good time. I said ... not really .... it was worldly ..... superficial ........ and meaningless in the scheme of things in the end times. It was enjoyable from a fleshly perspective ... but I know nothing that happened today will matter when Jesus returns. I can "make nice" with them and feel sympathy for them and smile genuinely with them. I can giggle and be silly ....... but ....... I know that I will probably never see them again ......... and that they will not have a lasting impact in my life. The Godly impact of fleshly visiting is meaningless.
When I got home I heard that my life is "hid with Christ."
