Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you now dismiss your servant in peace. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all people; a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel.” The child’s father and mother marveled at what was said about him.
Luke 2:28-33

Parents can be amazed at what their children say and do. Often they are left speechless, and wondering, “How did they do that?â€
When Jesus was eight days old Joseph and Mary took him to the temple in Jerusalem. On their arrival they were met by an elderly gentleman who took the baby in his arms and began to praise the Lord.
Prayer:
O gracious Lord, your ways are beyond my understanding. While I marvel at your work, give me the faith I need to believe all you have done through your Son for my rescue from sin and my life in heaven. Amen.
