Waiting Well

Dec 22, 2024    Scott Owens

In this powerful exploration of waiting, we delve into the often-overlooked character of Simeon from Luke 2. His story teaches us profound lessons about patient faith and the beauty of God's timing. As we navigate our own seasons of waiting, we're challenged to maintain wholesome habits, live righteously, and stay devoted to God. The narrative reminds us that waiting isn't about getting what we want, but about drawing closer to Jesus than ever before. We're encouraged to live with an expected faith, trusting in God's promises even when circumstances seem unlikely. Simeon's encounter with the infant Jesus beautifully illustrates how God's perfect timing intersects with our faithfulness. As we reflect on our own 'whens', we're inspired to approach each day with wonder and expectation, knowing that God is working behind the scenes in ways we can't yet see.
