—Luke 2:29-33
by: Paula Davis.
Simeon was ready to die. He was content and feeling blessed having the vision fulfilled that was given to him by the Holy Spirit his entire life. Mary and Joseph marveled at what was being said about their son. They knew what they had been told by the Holy Spirit, but this was confirmation of what they held in their hearts. God sometimes blesses us with confirmations from other believers. He doesn’t want us to depend on others to interpret his Word or what God is telling us, but he provides fellow believers to walk beside us, encourage and help us to walk by the Spirit. May each of us be able to look back at the end of our lives knowing that we heard from the Spirit and had our vision realized through him.
