—Luke 2:36-38
by: Paula Davis.
Anna lived in the temple. What an example she is to me as a single woman, for she lost her husband after being married for only 7 years. Instead of marrying again or living as a sad and rejected widow, Anna chose to make God her husband and live where she could be closest to him. She didn’t concentrate on what she had lost but on what she could have with God. We don’t need to live in our churches or become solitary individuals in order to devote our lives to God. We need to spend time in his Word and meditate on his Scriptures and what he is speaking to us through the Scripture. Turning the TV off for an hour a week would provide one more hour for meditation and prayer; even fasting will give us renewed insight and draw us closer to our God.
