Grace for your spirit January 18, 2011

Grace for your spirit
And behold there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel; and the Holy Spirit was upon him. And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ. Luke 2:25-26

What a wonderful life we all can have when we live with a specific hope. Simeon believed the promise that he would live until he beheld the Christ. This was the day. As the parents of the baby Jesus brought Him into the temple, Simeon beheld His glory and proclaimed the future of the Lord's mission. He told the Lord, "you can take me now in peace, for My eyes have beheld the salvation." God has given us specific and wonderful promises in Christ. We can live a life of faith and hope knowing that we too will see the glory of salvation. May that make us righteous, devout and vigilant for His coming. Don't give up now.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
