A new year

Divine Love,

As we enter a new year, help us to have the faith and endurance of Simeon.  May we be righteous and devout, patient in our waiting for things of the Kingdom, and obedient when we are moved by the Spirit.  May we burst into praise, recognizing Your fulfillment of promises.  May we see your salvation offered to all people.  Mostly, Lord God, we pray your Holy Spirit would be upon us as it was Simeon.  

Maranatha, Lord Jesus come....
Amen


 25Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord's Christ. 27Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to dofor him what the custom of the Law required, 28Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: 

 29"Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, 
      you now dismiss your servant in peace. 
 30For my eyes have seen your salvation, 
    31which you have prepared in the sight of all people, 
 32a light for revelation to the Gentiles 
      and for glory to your people Israel."  (Luke 2 NIV)
