Today’s Scripture: Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required Luke 2:27 NIV
Right here, right now you and I are where God wants us. Like Simeon, I have no doubt that the Spirit has moved me here. Like Mary and Joseph I also know that observing the customs of the law will take me where I am supposed to be.
I do not want to miss why I am here worrying about why or even where I am to be going. While I am here I want to be with Him who brought me here. I pray to be observant and faithful.
I trust the Spirit more than myself. I am praying to our Heavenly Father to open my eyes and ears to His purposes right here where I am. I am sharing the Good News and great joy I have found and trusting the Spirit to move me if I am to move at the right time.
Why are you in this very place today?
Today’s Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for loving me and caring for me. Thank You for Your assurance and your provision. Thank You for having me here. Open my eyes to those things and people around me that You want me to share Your love with. Help me to do the right things and to devoutly follow You. I am sharing Your Good News with great joy. Amen.

Thanks Tom! Sometimes it feels like the future is beckoning me so forcefully that I can hardly focus on where I am right now and what I am currently doing. God has been calling me all this month to just be with Him in the moment. Thanks for the confirmation.
God is so GOOD! Thank you also Joseph for confirming our need to rest with Him and abide with Him where we are! Blessings and abiding right here.
