[/quote] After being baptized, Jesus immediately came up from the water; and look! the heavens were opened up, and he saw God’s spirit descending like a dove and coming upon him. 17 Look! Also, a voice from the heavens said: “This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved.” Mt3:13 What is the consequence for contradicting God? [/quote] So God cant be in more than one place at a time? I thought he was omnipresent and all powerful. If he is...WHATS so hard about Him being in heaven and ALSO being on earth incarnate as Jesus at the SAME TIME? And also being the inventor of time itself...who is to really say it WAS "at the same time" as WE percieve time? Everyone must think God lives in a little limited man created box or something.

“Your eyes should look straight ahead, yes, fix your gaze straight ahead of you.”—PROV. 4:25.
1-2. How can we follow the advice found at Proverbs 4:25? Give an example.
IMAGINE the following scenarios. An elderly Christian sister reflects on good times from her past. Even though her life is more challenging now, she continues to do all she can for Jehovah. (1 Cor. 15:58) Every day she imagines herself and her loved ones living together in the promised new world. Another sister remembers that she was hurt by a fellow believer, but she chooses to let go of her resentment. (Col. 3:13) A brother is keenly aware of his past mistakes but focuses on staying faithful from now on.—Ps. 51:10.
2 What do these three Christians have in common? All of them remember what happened in their past, but they are not living in it. Rather, they “look straight ahead” to the future.—Read Proverbs 4:25.
