Today I share the story of Simeon from Luke 2:25-35. Can you imagine waiting your whole life for the fulfillment of a promise? And then, after your eyes have become weak from searching the scriptures and your knees have grown tired from kneeling in prayer, the Lord suddenly says, “Today, Simeon. He is here.”

How many of us would have endured that long period of waiting without losing hope, losing faith or losing interest?
