FIRST, LIKE SIMEON SEEK THE SPIRIT-FILLED LIFE GOD OFFERS:
Luke 2:25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
How does anyone get God to enter their life? God said long before Simeon’s day in Jeremiah 29:13, which was written six hundred years before Christ’s birth:
Jeremiah 29:13 (NKJV) And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
Simeon sought God.
Simeon opened his life to God, and surrendered to His control.
Simeon wanted God’s way, and God controls surrendered people by filling them with His Spirit.
Simeon was living the Spirit-filled life that God offers.
Application: Pause and ask yourself:
How long has it been since I asked God to take over my plans?
How long since you parked the car of your life, turned off the ignition, pulled the keys out and surrendered both the keys, the steering wheel, and the driver’s seat to God?
How long has it been since you were personally aware of His Presence in your heart and life each day?
How long has it been since you cried out and told the Lord that you wanted to rely upon Him to lead and guide you?
