Luke 2:22-52

Waiting is a universal experience that can either embitter us or transform us to see God's kingdom in our daily lives. Through the story of Simeon and Anna in Luke 2, we learn that the kingdom is visible through ordinary obedience, seen by those who maintain hope, and grows during seasons of waiting. Like Jesus, who trusted God's timing and grew in wisdom during His years in Nazareth, we can practice daily obedience, trust God during quiet seasons, and remain about our Father's business through the process. By embracing our waiting seasons with hope rather than resentment, we develop eyes to see God's kingdom breaking into our world every day.
