Believing in what you can't fully see December 21, 2010 Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ. And he came in the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the Law, he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said, "Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word;  for my eyes have seen your salvation that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel." Luke 2:25-32 This is such a remarkable story that many overlook when they read the first few chapters of Luke. God tells Simeon that he is going to see the long-awaited Messiah in his lifetime. So when he finds the young boy Jesus in the Temple, he runs to him, picks him up in his arms, and praises God for the salvation he has sent. Just imagine holding a small child in your arms and knowing he is your Savior. Talk about faith! Today, we can look back at the coming of Christ and we know the whole story of his life, his death, and his resurrection. We have the entire message. But to be able to look at a little helpless child, and to believe and  receive him as Savior takes so much faith.  Many years from now when all of God's people are spending eternity with him in heaven, we'll be able to look back on his faithfulness and see how he came through in the toughest situations. But what we don't know now we accept on faith, just like Simeon. As the apostle Paul says, we now "see in a mirror dimly" what we will eventually see "face to face" (1 Corinthians 13:12). Yes, we see dimly. But we do see! God loves you and his promises never fail. So until that day we see them fulfilled face to face and our faith shall be made sight, trust in God's promises.  GOD'S PROMISES NEVER FAIL. SO TRUST THAT WHAT YOU SEE DIMLY TODAY WILL BE CLEARLY SEEN IN HIS PERFECT TIMING.  For more from PowerPoint Ministries and Dr. Jack Graham, please visit www.jackgraham.org and Listen to Dr. Jack Graham's daily broadcast on OnePlace.com.

TH Daily - December 21 - Thomas Sowell, Byron York, Chuck Norris, David Limbaugh, Dennis Prager and More

Reflections on the Passing Scene Thomas Sowell: Random thoughts on the passing scene... ... more Once Earmark Junkies, GOP Tries to Kick Habit Byron York: When Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill recently went to war over the budget, press coverage suggested that pork-barrel earmark spending is still a bipartisan problem, that after months of self-righteous rhetoric about fiscal discipline, both parties remain equal-opportunity earmarkers. ... more Obama Versus Reagan Chuck Norris: I must commend President Barack Obama for getting closer this year to conveying the true message of Christmas. But how does that saying go, "Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades"? ... more Understanding the Left's Intolerance for Intolerance David Limbaugh: It's that time of year when we are reminded just how indebted we are to the left's mega-tolerant cultural warriors. ... more What Do Men Want? Dennis Prager: It is said that the one question about men and women that even the great Sigmund Freud, father of psychoanalysis, could not answer was: What do women want? ... more Christian Rout in the Culture War Pat Buchanan: A Democratic Congress, discharged by the voters on Nov. 2, has as one of its last official acts, imposed its San Francisco values on the armed forces of the United States. ... more Will Mrs. Obama Downsize Your Kid? Mona Charen: Wouldn't it make more sense, economically, nutritionally, and (importantly) socially to eliminate school lunches altogether? ... more The Sad Limits of Realism Michael Gerson: Early in his service as President Nixon's national security adviser, Henry Kissinger paid a visit to his homeland. ... more The 20 Biggest Stories of 2010 John Hawkins: The Tea Party has become so influential and ever present in politics that it's easy to forget it really only got started last year. ... more President Obama Governs as Bush 44 Debra J.

At least to most of us. You may see them but not perceive them. ... more Of Worldly Power and Christmas Tidings Bill Murchison: A word about Christmas. Just a word. Having nothing to do with the so-called wars over "happy holidays" vs. "Merry Christmas" and such ephemera. ... more Let There Be Light Phyllis Schlafly: If we want to continue to enjoy the bright, warm light that Thomas Edison's incandescent bulb radiates, Congress will have to repeal Subtitle B of Title III of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. Environmental "standards" will start eliminating 276 versions of incandescent light bulbs in 2012, and the drop-dead date for our favorite 100-watt light bulb is just one year away. ... more Christmas and Fatherless Kids Janice Shaw Crouse: Every year around this time, we hear the classic Marty Robbins' Christmas Song. ... more Where Is the Justice for Michael? Diana West: Earlier this month, I received an e-mail update from Scott and Vicki Behenna, whose son, Army Ranger 1st Lt. Michael Behenna, is serving 15 years in Fort Leavenworth military prison over the May 2008 shooting of a known killer in Iraq. ... more Christmas at Katyn Paul Kengor: The people of Poland got an early Christmas present this year. It's bittersweet but long awaited, and indeed a gift of sorts—and from an unlikely source: Russia. In Moscow, the State Duma, Russia's legislature, passed a statement conceding Soviet responsibility for the Katyn Woods massacre, one of the 20th century's worst war crimes. ... more		2010 census to show slowing US growth, GOP gains NATO denies US military pushing for Pakistan raids Support builds for approval of US-Russia nuke pact US executions drop by 12 percent in 2010 Obama's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year The Definition of a "Frivolous Lawsuit" Carol Platt Liebau Feds Can't Control Border Violence So They Are Punishing Border Area Gun Dealers Katie Pavlich Straight Soldiers to Shower With Gay Soldiers Katie Pavlich NPR Reporter Apologizes For Using the Word 'Christmas'?
