Luke 2:36-38, "She Was of a Great Age" - a podcast by Benjamin Glaser

As Luke continues to prepare the reader to learn more about Jesus Christ and His work we have two stories of people whom the world would think to be of a lesser value. Simeon, the elder man who served in the Temple is paired with an older lady, a widow of 84 years named Anna. One of the things that tie these two dear saints together is that they are "just and devout" and "serve God in prayer and fastings". Their gentle, ordinary faith has prepared them to meet their savior, the Consolation of Israel, and the Redeemer of Jerusalem.

Often we make Christianity far more difficult than God has made it to be. A quiet, normal life of prayer, bible reading, and regular attendance at worship are powerful weapons against the works of darkness and the trials of life.
