—Luke 2:25-35

Have you ever said something incredibly wise and thought, “Wow! Where did that come from?” The wisdom that Simeon proclaimed when he met Jesus as a baby was not his own. It came from God. We might think he must have been a priest or some important religious leader. But we really do not know anything more about him, other than that he was righteous, devout, and full of the Holy Spirit. The last one was key. God revealed His wisdom to and through Simeon by His Spirit. As we seek to know and apply God’s wisdom today, we must do so by surrendering to the Holy Spirit.
