Simeon was not a particularly important man, but he was
known as a righteous and a devout man. In Greek that means “taking a
good hold on something”. For him, God was at the center of this his life.
Similarly, God was at the center of Anna’s life. She was constantly in the
Temple day and night. She was known for her fasting and prayers. She was always
worshiping God.
These were not CEO (Christmas and Easter Only) type of worshipers! Simeon and Anna were the type of worshipers who would have been present every time the church doors were opened. They were involved in nearly activity open to them, because they were dedicated people who loved God with all of their hearts, their souls and their minds.
It’s intriguing that it was ONLY to them that God revealed His message of peace.
You might be a Christian, but unless you commit yourself to putting God at the center of your life you’ll not only miss out on the peace of Christmas you’ll also miss out on a lot of other blessings from God.
