Jesus’s family met Anna in the temple. Here is an old woman who married young, was widowed young, and never remarried. It's not clear if she has any living family. You could understand if she were bitter at God for her lot in life. Instead, Anna was extremely devoted to God. Night and day she prays, fasts, and worships. She knows God, and as such God uses her for a very important job. She proclaims to those in the temple that this boy, Jesus, is the one they have been waiting for, that will bring redemption. What an honor!
We can’t give up on God when hard or bad things happen in life. He is still there with us, loving us, and has a plan for us. He can use us for great and important things!
Question
Do you still trust in God when life is tough?
Prayer
God, help us remember that you are with us even in the hard and messy parts of life. Help us to keep living for you through the tough stuff.
Scripture
