Today’s Scripture: Moved by the Spirit, Simeon went into the temple courtyard. Mary and Joseph were bringing the child Jesus into the courtyard at the same time. They brought him so that they could do for him what Moses’ Teachings required. Luke 2:27 GWT
Although the Holy Spirit had revealed to Simeon that he would see the Lord’s Christ before he died, do you think Simeon understood he would confirm for millions that this really was the Messiah? That he would be mentioned in the Holy scriptures remembered for all time?
In this moment he was God’s plan. What if he had hit the snooze button or found something else to do that day? The 41st day after Jesus’ birth only came once. This was Simeon’s moment and he showed up.
We are God’s plan too. Do we realize what our faithfulness can do for others? Are we moved by the Holy Spirit to be where we are supposed to be? Are we preparing ourselves to show up?
We are God’s plan and I pray we go where the Holy Spirit leads us. We too can change the world for all time.
Today’s Prayer: Yahweh, thank You for Your Spirit. Reveal Yourself and Your plan for me. Speak clearly LORD. Continue to prepare my heart, my soul and my mind for what You have already planned for me to give the world for You. Please give me full nourishment of Your daily bread that will prepare me for that day, for that hour You intend for me to serve Your purpose. Amen.
