And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, "Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: for mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel." And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
(vv 25-33)
Even though Joseph and Mary had heard from angels concerning Jesus, and had seen his amazing virgin birth, and had nie months to ponder what and who he was, they still marvelled when Simeon said what he did about Jesus.
With all the teaching and preaching that we have received about Christ, yet there are still times when we question what he is doing and how he is doing it. It is high time for some real men of Euless to get behind the wonderful preaching and teaching we hear, spend more time in the Word of God, and more time on our knees. To trust the Lord as he moves in our life and family. To be ready to be used in what ever way Jesus wants to use each and everyone us to further the revival that is in our mist and to do the work of the kingdom of God.
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men
Psalm 107:8
