Hi Donald,
How is your home project going?
Mind if I make an observation about the question you asked?
IF I read what you are asking, a clue to that question is held in verse 25 :
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.
Another version says righteous and devout, where this says just and devout. So just as Abraham believed and was credited as righteousness so it seems is Simeon, as he was already waiting for the comfort of Israel. And the Holy Ghost was upon him.
Romans 16- Now to him who is able to establish you by my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all nations might believe and obey him-- to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.
Ephesians 3- Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
God bless
