week 18 - The Journey Day 3
"He came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to perform the custom of the law in regard to him,". Luke 2:27
The power of God within. What happens when we study scripture? God forms us and our thoughts. Simeon spent his life in the word of God, it transformed him and it is part of him. Listen to what he says when he holds the Word in the flesh.
"he took him into his arms and blessed God, saying: "Now, Master, you may let your servant go in peace, according to your word, for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you prepared in sight of all the peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and glory for your people Israel."" Luke 2:28-32
We can spend a lifetime knowing about God, studying this, that or the other. Or we can open ourselves up to God and invite him in. It is the Spirit of God within that transforms hearts a little each day. Simeon and the Spirit are one in spirit.
What is God saying to me? Do not worry on what to say, when the time is right I will give you the words to speak. You are My child, My student, My ardent disciple. Do not be afraid.
Dear Lord God, I see You speak within, I see the Spirit move within Your people, Your faithful servants who listen to Your voice. Bless us with wisdom that has stood the test of time, fill our hearts with the gift of life. You have the words of everlasting life that brings peace into a weary world. Bless this day, bless our souls with Your love. Prayers for those who are struggling, going it alone in a world that beats them down. I ask this in Jesus name, amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Victory, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Terror of Demons, Pray for us.
