In this episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, we turn our attention to Luke 2 and the quiet yet powerful witness of Anna, a faithful servant who waited patiently for the redemption of Jerusalem. Her life of prayer, fasting, and devotion reminds us that God often works through those who remain faithful long before recognition ever comes. From a New Covenant perspective, this devotional reflects on how Anna’s hope was not anchored in the praise of others, but in the promise of God fulfilled in Christ. Her response to seeing Jesus was thanksgiving and proclamation, not self-promotion. This episode invites listeners to consider how faithfulness, shaped by trust in God’s timing, prepares the heart to recognize Christ when He appears. Alongside the devotional, the episode includes Academy updates as we close the semester and prepare for Christmas break, as well as a philosophical reflection grounded in Scripture that challenges the pursuit of approval. Together, the segments encourage a posture of patient obedience, confident that God’s promises are fulfilled in Christ and that faithfulness in the waiting is never wasted.
