Social media brings the world closer and makes it much smaller.  We can know what is going on all around the world with the click of a button.  But, are you attentive to those around you, in your corner of the world?  Are you aware of what God is doing?

Anna, age 84, widowed for many years.  Her world was in the Temple in Jerusalem.  She served there, night and day… for years… with fastings and prayers.  Luke 2:36-37

One day, she noticed a couple with a very young baby being held and blessed by Simeon…
“At that very moment she came up and began giving thanks to God and continued to speak of Him to all those who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.”  (NASB) Luke 2:38

Anna – used her eyes and ears to understand what was going on around her… do you?
Anna – gave thanks to God… do you?
Anna – continued to speak of God to all who were looking for the deliverance of Jerusalem by God… do you?

~ Take it to heart ~

Anna served the Lord, daily.  Her age did not deter her from fasting, praying, thanking God, and telling others of God’s great power to deliver…

Are you tuned in to serving God right where you are?
