Righteous and Devout

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

Simeon believed the Lord.

He watched and waited for years to see Jesus.

He was righteous and devout.

I wish I could say the same.

He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him.

The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would get to see the Lord's Messiah before he died.
