Keep seeking and you will find! - NCCG.ORG Ning Network Archive 2008-10

Luke 2:25-32 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Ruach haQodesh was upon him. And it was revealed unto him by the Ruach haQodesh, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Yahweh's Messiah. And he came by the Ruach into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Yah'shua, to do for him after the custom of the Torah, Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed Elohim, and said, Master, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

Simeon must have been a remarkable man, one who continued to seek Yahweh all his life. Yahweh rewarded him by finally revealing to him the infant Yah'shua's identity as Messiah of Israel and Saviour of the world, and allowing Simeon to actually hold and bless the "lamb of Elohim".

Why did Yahweh reveal himself to Simeon? What was his secret? I believe it was that he never stopped seeking and patiently waiting. Yah'shua said, "Seek and ye shall find." The Greek really emphasizes the continuing aspect of the Master's exhortation, literally, "Keep seeking and you will find."

We are all aging, that's a given...but do you want to age badly?...then stop seeking. But if, as you age, you desire an exciting, and even youthful Ruach-filled life as a believer, then learn a secret from Simeon, a man who aged really well. Don't stop seeking Yahweh, or waiting upon Him!" This Godly man discovered that, even in old age – Yahweh will reveal awesome things to you!

Yes. Yes! He rewards those who diligently seek, as in fortitude, nothing or nobody is going to stop me, with all of the being, believing and doing, and we must know that He Is.

Simeon believed in his heart what he knew from YHWH and went to the place where he would find what he knew YHWH told him in his Heart and that faith is from the word of YHWH in that knowing! How many times must he have went to find and did not find but we know also that it is not on our time but in the planning and timing of YHWH that we will find. And He is always true to His Word! Never fails so we should never give up!
