do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.

Luke 10:1-24

After this the Lord appointed seventy-two[a] others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. He told them, The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field

“When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you. Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house.

“Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.” The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”

However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.

Then he turned to his disciples and said privately, Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”

Why?

“The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. It still exists in this situation, the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. What can I do? Pray and work with others to preach the gospel.
Reveal to little children, but hidden from the wise and learned. Being humble before the Lord is our altitude to learn and to follow Jesus Christ.

Blessed are the eyes see what you see. This is what I lack, may the Holy Spirit let me see what the Lord sees.

do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven, Why? Some abilities are outside features that can attract others' eyes, but more importantly our life could be eternal life written in heaven. What we did in this world will pass away. 

How?

Follow Jesus Christ with all my soul, my mind, and my strength, this is a work in my life. May the Holy Spirit help me.
