Numbers 26 :1-51, Luke 2 :36-52, Psalms 60 :1-12, Proverbs 11 :15
What God said to me – You’ve heard the phrase “now I can die happy.” Sometimes it is said flippantly and sometimes with absolute sincerity. It means you have experienced something so fulfilling and satisfying that your life is complete. Mary and Joseph encountered two people in the temple when they took My Son, Jesus, after His circumcision to present Him to Me to fulfill the requirement of the Law. They met Simeon and Anna – both elderly people who had spent their lives serving Me and looking for Messiah. When they saw Jesus, they recognized Him for who He was, and they excitedly shared with those who were there. So, what about you – is the focus of your life serving Me and worshipping Me in ministry and prayer and fasting like Simeon and Anna? Are you anxiously looking for My coming and telling others? It’s easy to say you want Me to come – but maybe not before I get married and have kids and grandkids and have a successful career and retire and enjoy life. None of these things are bad things, but they are not the things that will enable you to say, “now I can die happy.” While those things are wonderful, true peace and joy comes in knowing Me and serving Me in ministry and sharing with others.
