    Scripture and history do not provide us with a great amount of information about Simeon. All that we know of him is contained in these few verses in the book of Luke. But what we do have speaks volumes about Simeon, his character, faith and vision.

    What does it mean to seek the face of God? Listen to King David in Psalm 27.

    David writes in Psalm 27:8 "Come," my heart says, "seek his face!" Your face, LORD, do I seek. We modern day folks find this to be strange I think at best. Seeking God's face? What does that mean, God is spirit, you can't see his face. Yet we read today in Matthew 4, that Jesus came and called His ...read more
