╬When they look upon the baby Jesus, Simeon and Anna herald the arrival of salvation and redemption. Ultimately, the kingdom of this world is turned upside down by the Kingdom of our God. The Lord Jesus’ prayer reminds us to pray: Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Pause to consider what the advent of the Kingdom of God brings to us here, today, now. How will you cooperate with Jesus’ plan for God’s heavenly reign to displace the kingdom of this world?


╬  Lord, we are thankful for your witnesses, Simeon and Anna who rejoice over the arrival of Jesus. We rejoice with them for salvation has come and your Kingdom is at hand. Help us to be faithful witnesses of Jesus and His Kingdom, and to embrace what He is doing in our lives for our good and your Glory. Amen.
