"Lord , now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word to your word; for my eyes have seen your salvation that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel." (Luke 2:29-32)
This guy, Simeon, was told by God that he would see the Messiah before he died, what a lucky guy! His response when he sees Jesus? "Lord now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word, for my eyes have seen your salvation." The second he sees Jesus, Simeon knows who He is. He sees Jesus and knows that the child that he is looking at is, himself, salvation. How beautiful Jesus is! He found peace after seeing God's word fulfilled. He was not okay until God showed up. What has God told you that you can't find peace until you see it complete?
Dear Lord,
Please comfort me in Your Spirit but put a restlessness in my heart for your will and seeing it be done. I love you.
