THE STORY OF JESUS: Luke 2:25-32
“For my eyes have seen your salvation…” (Luke 2:30)
Unlike Simeon, I cannot see my salvation with my physical eyes.
But I have been “moved by the Spirit” to see it by faith.
How do I explain it: I sense it, I feel it, I know it deep inside.
Whenever I see Jesus in my mind, I am also moved to praise God.
When I see Jesus in His humble love and gracious kindness.
When I see Jesus patiently loving and serving His disciples.
When I see Jesus being tortured and crucified for no reason.
When I see Jesus alive, smiling and accepting me as His friend.
Consolation fills me, and I am encouraged, energized, hopeful!
Jesus is presented “in the sight of all nations”.
Everyone can see what I see, and experience what I experience.
It does take the eyes of faith, being moved by the Spirit.
For me, thinking about Jesus is life transforming.
Like Simeon, I am moved to joy and praise, as I hold Jesus in my heart.
What do you sense the Lord saying to you?
PRAYER
Lord, when I think about You, I am moved by Your Spirit. May this joy, hope and peace energize me for today. May others see Jesus today too!
Spirit filled.
Spirit led.
In tune with the Spirit.
Moved by the Spirit.
Daily devotions and prayers and worship expecting God’s promise.
Days, months – never loosing hope.
Surrendering. Trusting.
Faith.
The joy of the Lord is my strength.
He enables.
He prepares.
Ready to serve.
I surrender all.
Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me.
Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me.
Melt me, mold me, fill me, use me,
Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me.
Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on us.
Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on us.
Melt us, mold us, fill us, use us,
Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on us.
