Long years of faithful moments had tendered Anna’s heart to recognize the face of her God. She had known He would come.

And so do we:

The angels told Jesus’ followers, as He ascended to the right hand of the Father: “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw Him go into Heaven.” (Acts 1:11)

What if these mundane moments taught us to search for Him, positioned us to see Him, grew in us the perseverance we will need for lives lived longing for His return?
