—Luke 2:27-28
by: Paula Davis.
Here Simeon gives us another example of faithfulness and obedience, and of being in tune with the Holy Spirit. It doesn’t appear that Simeon had any reason to be at the temple that day, except that the Holy Spirit prompted him. I believe hearing from the Holy Spirit and trusting that you are correctly interpreting his revelations is one of the very difficult parts of walking by faith. But to be fully blessed by all that God has for us, we must learn to listen to his Spirit and trust in what we are being told. As we are faithful to the Holy Spirit’s leading, we will be blessed by God, just as Simeon was.
