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
Today is the day. Do you think Simeon thought that as he headed to the temple that day? What if Simeon had hit the snooze button or found something else to do that day? Not only would he have missed baby Jesus but He would have missed his calling to confirm Jesus as the Messiah to the world. Simeon went where the Spirit moved him and found himself in the right place.
When moved by the Spirit we find ourselves in the right place too. If we are moved or prevented by moving by fears and demands of this world we may miss our opportunities to give others what God has given us.
God has a plan for you and me too. Like Simeon our purpose is unique and may be world changing. I pray we listen and are moved by the Spirit to be exactly where the LORD desires.
Are you moved by the Spirit?
Today’s Prayer: Yahweh, thank You for Your Spirit. Move me by Your Spirit. Speak clearly LORD. Continue to prepare my heart, my soul and my mind for what You have planned for me. Please give me full nourishment of Your daily bread that will prepare me for this day, for the hour You intend for me to serve Your purpose. Amen.
