Seek & Wait Upon the Lord
Dr Luke – physician, historian
and writer of the longest gospel
account clearly states his purpose
for writing in the opening verses:
That thou might know the certainty
of those things thou has instructed
He begins with details surrounding
the miraculous birth of John the
forerunner and Jesus the Messiah.
Lord, we’ll Seek & Wait Upon You:
Simeon…eagerly expected the
Messiah to come and rescue
Israel… When Mary and Joseph
came to present Jesus to the
Lord, Simeon took the child in
his arms and praised God saying:
Lord now I can die in peace !
As you promised me, I have seen
the Saviour you have given to
all people. He is a light to reveal
God to the nations (Lk 2:25-32).
Anna, a prophet never left the
Temple but stayed worshipping
God… She came along just as
Simeon was talking with Mary &
Joseph, and she began praising
God. She talked about Jesus to
everyone who had been waiting
for the promised King to come
and deliver Jerusalem (v36-38).
Lord, thank You for being a light to reveal God so that more people can know & worship our Father. Thank You for bringing us out of darkness into Your marvellous light. Help me to shine Your light so that everyone around will be drawn to You. And help us like Simeon to accomplish Your purpose and live our destiny. Amen.
Lord, help me to let go of
my divided desires and
be wholly devoted to You.
Capture and renew my heart
to regularly wait upon You.
And let the eyes of my heart
be awakened to see You Lord
and to rejoice in You each day.
For You are indeed worthy of
all praise and adoration. Amen.
Lord, praise and worship draw us
close to You and opens our ears
to Your voice. For when we spend
time adoring You in gratitude and praise, our hearts merge with Yours.
Father, I appreciate Your goodness
and all that You have done for me.
I pour my adoration to You Lord;
and let me enjoy Your goodness
abd seek Your heart above all else.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
