Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him. 

It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah.

‭‭Luke‬ ‭2‬:‭25‬-‭26‬ ‭NIV‬‬

God keeps his promises. 

Having been led to the temple, Simeon finally and prophetically held that very messiah Jesus in his hands and said: 

Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you may now dismiss your servant in peace.

‭‭Luke‬ ‭2‬:‭29‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Promises made, promises kept is not a new thing or political slogan. 

Here we see a nobody who for years lived according to a faith that God is indeed who and what he said he is. 

And God came through. 

If you’ve lived with a godly vow for something, keep on the path toward it. Eventually God will keep his word. 

And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was on him.

‭‭Luke‬ ‭2‬:‭40‬ ‭NIV‬‬
