Her name was Anna which means “gracious” or “one who gives.” She lived on the planet during difficult times but made something of her name. God identified her in His book which will live forever.
And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived with her husband seven years from when she was a virgin, and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day. And coming up at that very hour she began to give thanks to God and to speak of Him to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
There are 500,000 Annas just in the United States. Question is, How many live for Him and don’t depart from the truth found in the Word? If I were an Anna, I would desire those words coming from God would be about me.
Give it some thought.
