13. Anna’s Praise

Scripture Reading:

Luke 2:36-38; Psalm 145:4-7; Joel 2:28

Deep Insight:

“Anna’s Praise” highlights the prophetess Anna, who, despite her advanced age, worshiped in the temple “night and day, fasting and praying” (Luke 2:37). Upon seeing Yeshua, she gave thanks to God and “spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem” (Luke 2:38).

Anna represents faithfulness and devotion. Her immediate response to share the good news reflects the outpouring of the Spirit prophesied in Joel 2:28: “I will pour out my Spirit on all people… Your old men will dream dreams.”

Her life exemplifies the Psalmist’s declaration: “One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts” (Psalm 145:4).

Practical Application:

Anna’s dedication encourages us to remain steadfast in worship and prayer. Regardless of age or circumstance, we can be vessels of God’s message. 

Consider how you can share the hope of redemption with those around you. Let your life be a testimony to God’s faithfulness.

Prayer:

Faithful God, we are inspired by Anna’s devotion and her eagerness to share the good news. Help us to be steadfast in our worship and bold in our proclamation of Your salvation. Fill us with Your Spirit, that we may impact others for Your kingdom. In Yeshua’s name, we pray. Amen.
