The Consolation of Israel Luke 2:25 " There was a an in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout,, witing for the consolation of Israel." THOUGHT FOR THE DAY SIMEON was just and devout and waited for the "Consolation of Israel." "Consolation" means "paraclete" (One coming alongside) as we think and speak of the Holy Spirit who comes to abide in and lead us out in our daiky life. Simeon was waiting for the deliverance of the Jews by the coming of the Messiah. They did not as a nation receive Him, but some did and were consoled, and Israel shall yet have the promised consolation, as Paul was comforted by the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit (1Thess 1:5). Lord may we also rely upon the abiding comfort of the indwelling Holy Spirit all the day. Amen.
