Anna Never Left the Temple But Worshiped

There was also a prophet, Anna, the daughter of Penuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, and then was a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.  — Luke 2:27-28 

God planned for Anna also to be able to see baby Jesus.

She blessed Him when He was brought to the temple.

She had been fasting and praying, worshiping God night and day.

She was a widow, 84 years old.

And she loved the Lord.

So do we!

Daughter of God

“I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”  
— 2 Corinthians 6:18

Very comforting to know that I am a daughter of God, the living King.

And He is my Father, my Abba, and my Lord.

As the Almighty He holds the world in His hand and even knows the number of hairs on my head.

Slowly they are growing back, and I now have more than I can count, even though they are very, very short.

I can trust Him with my life.

When I'm weak, He carries me. Note there is just one set of footprints in the sand — His.

He has covered me with love. I am blessed beyond measure.
