Simeon’s story in the Bible shows us he was quite a man! In eight short verses from the Gospel of Luke we learn what was in his heart. There were treasures of grace in his life. The first thing we learn is that he is identified as a man. No other title. He may not have been a nobleman, but he was a gentleman. He may not have had great wealth, but he had heaven’s riches. He may not have been known by the multitudes, but he was known by God. Simeon’s relationship to God meant everything. He took his commitment to God seriously. That commitment shaped his character. The Scriptures tell us that he was a just and devout man. Simeon lived to do the right thing before God and others. If he was your leaders in church. society, civil society, business and public or government sector, you could count on him to be a person of integrity.
