This Week’s Scripture: Luke 2:21-40 NIV
My Comments: Have you noticed the Scripture quoted in the right column of my blog? For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. Romans 15:4
I have enjoyed time thinking and writing on some of the remarkable people in the Scriptures. I have learned a lot from their examples of faith. Anna has been particularly special as she came alive to me within very few words. What a wonderful example of faith and obedience she is!
Although Anna lived a long time ago, she has taught me what happens when someone completely surrenders their life to God. Anna experienced peace, joy, love and victory in her life. God met all of her needs and gave purpose to her life. Anna saw Jesus Christ face to face in her lifetime! God kept His promise giving her the greatest blessing of all.
Can you see why Anna had to tell others? God’s love overflowed within her. She had to let it touch those around her. She needed to give them the hope she had and to know about the Hope that had arrived.
Each of us has a story of how God has taken care of us. How has He called you to trust and obey Him? What example of faith and obedience can you share with those who God puts around you? Who needs to hear about the Hope that will set them free?
Let God’s love overflow in you as it did in Anna!
Today’s Scripture Thought: Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Romans 12:11
