STARTING STRONG

How do we sustain our commitment to looking up for our Redeemer in times like these?  We do it the same way Simeon did it.  He kept believing because he had a promise from the Holy Spirit, so he faithfully came to the temple believing that this could be the day.  Day after day, week after week, year after year passed, but still, Simeon came believing and expecting.  And then on this day, Luke said Simeon “came by the Spirit into the temple.”  We need to be sensitive to the Spirit because when the Spirit is prompting us to go, to worship, and to believe, we need to get up and go.
