And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart

in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

Luke 2:21-35

We Open Up The Way to our life and life more abundantly being fulfilled in our lives by our willingness to position ourselves to see and seize the opportunities and possibilities God has made available to us. To see clearly and appropriately, you must be intentional, no matter the circumstances of your life, to Lift Up Your Head.  Once you position yourself above your circumstances, especially mentally, seek God and His face to see and seize your opportunities and possibilities.  Do not be deceived that there are no opportunities and possibilities for you and in your circumstances, there are.  God always has a way of escape that allows you to stand up under whatever challenges you face.  In your everyday walking around life, make sure you handle the Holy with care, knowing that all things belong to God; handle God’s Word with expectancy, expecting God’s promises to be revealed, and handle God’s revelation with wonder, awe in which you celebrate and share His good news!
