Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, — Luke 2:28

God’s gift to Simeon was very special and made him feel very moved. Still, Simeon is a symbol for all people from every country, race, and culture who want God to save them. Luke likes to keep telling us that God’s salvation is for everyone. Also, God’s light has come on. Let’s welcome the sunrise and share it with others.

Prayer

Lord God of all peoples, I pray for world peace as well as the spread of the gospel throughout all countries in the upcoming year. Please help me to be more aware of those around me who could use your kindness. Give me the stamina and the words to use to persuade them to accept your salvation. Encourage me to be kind to those who are sharing your message with the world. Bind the devil’s work. Stop the evil one from keeping entire countries in the dark. Allow grace to bring your salvation to their darkness by using me to help prepare the way. Make your Kingdom successful by allowing your grace to succeed everywhere in the world. In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
