SCRIPTURE

"And coming up at that very hour she gave thanks unto God, and spake of him to all them that were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem." — Luke 2:38 (ASV)

And she coming in that instant –

God knows how to time what we call our accidental walks: She coming in that instant

Gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

So that the song of Simeon was sweetened by the voice of Anna, and they both rejoiced in God their Saviour; and their joy was shared by all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem. May many of us have a share in that same joy as, by faith, we lovingly gaze upon the Lord's Christ.
