As we reach the end of another year, we can look back on all we have each experienced over the times that have gone as well as look forward to those things that are yet to be. We live in a culture where we have come to expect everything to happen almost instantly yet that is often not the case when it comes to living as members of God's family. It is often hard for us to wait and to do so trusting in our Heavenly Father as we seek to understand His will for us as individuals and as a church family. In our passage today we are thinking about Simeon and Anna, two of the characters who feature at the end of Luke's account of the Christmas story, to see what they can teach us about waiting for God's timing. We'll do so considering:
- Stable foundation
- Saviour found
- Secure future
