Remember the Old Testament prophecies spoken to people who longed for a Savior that would establish an eternal Kingdom? Today, we read about Simeon, a man who is believing for the fulfillment of those prophecies and is actually in the temple as infant Jesus is dedicated to the Lord. Simeon had been waiting for the Savior for so long he was basically on death’s door, yet he refuses to give up hope to meet Him!
Like so many before him, Simeon is waiting for the One that the Lord promised. As he aged, there must have been moments when he didn’t understand how he could see the Savior within his time. Year after year passed, but at just the right moment, God brought the Messiah directly to this incredibly faithful man. Though we may not always understand the timing of God’s movement, we can trust that as we seek His will, our Father will surely show us how to walk in His promises.
Application: Write down three things that are difficult for you to trust God for because of a lack of understanding. Surrender them to the Lord as you pray and ask Him to give you the faith to trust Him for them. Our prayer for anyone reading this is that your faith will increase this Christmas, and that you will see the faithfulness of God like never before!

We will reflect on Scripture in both the Old and New Testaments that all point towards the coming of Christ. As we look at the story of Christ’s anticipated arrival over this Christmas season, our prayer at New Life Church is that you would remember that Jesus came to be the embodiment of God’s promises for salvation and redemption.
