You seeing the Salvation of God – Part 2

For my eyes have Your (God) salvation. Luke 2:30

Simeon looked at his age, and might have thought that he is getting older, "Has God forgotten me." He might have thought that, it might not be possible for God to do it now as so many days, months and years have passed by. If God had to do it, He would have done it by now. He might have thought that God has forgotten me and His own promises. He might have looked at his current situation and thought that it might be too hard for God to change it hence, God has given up. Simeon might have given up in his thoughts that my life will be in complete darkness. He might have thought that it will never change. Are you also thinking in a similar way. Let me tell you, bible says, "God remembers you everyday. He has written your name on the palm of His hands and looks at it everyday." He will not forget you. He will not forget his promises. No matter how many days or years have passed by. Abraham forgot the promises God had made, yet God didn't forget it. God had promised Abraham about his descendants' redemption. Even after Abraham died, God fulfilled His promise about the redemption of Abraham's descendants. God never forgets His promises.

Simeon fed himself with the life of Abraham and reminded himself that God is not a man to lie. He is true to His word. So many lives He has built. Simeon reminded himself, that if he is alive it is only because God has yet to fulfill His promise. That clearly shows that it is going to happen. It doesn't depend on the age of a person. Abraham at the age of 100 can bear son basis the promise of God, if God can use Moses at the age of 80 then God can do the impossible to be possible even in my life. These things encouraged Simeon to depend on God. He threw his life in God's hand. He told God, either you make it or break it, but You are the potter of my life. That was the trust that Simeon had. This faith like a small child is what God is expecting from us. He wants us to trust Him with our life. He wants us to make Him the potter of our life and not limit Him. Today, make God the potter of your life and you will indeed see God's salvation. Don't put time limit to Him, He will not let you die till He fulfills all His promises in your life. He is known as a Creator and not destroyer. Your situation will not harm you to destroy you. Whatever you lose, God will restore double of it. He will create new things, new blessings in your life. Your eyes will surely see God's salvation. Amen! God bless you.
