God With Us!
Read
Isaiah 7:14
Reflect
Over 700 years before Jesus was born, Isaiah prophesied that God would give his people a sign. And that it would be a virgin that gave birth to the Messiah. Who do you think the virgin would be? That’s right, Mary!
Isaiah also told us that the baby would be called Immanuel, which means “God with us.” Matthew 1:23
God is always with us!
Remember
Names of Jesus #6 ~ IMMANUEL
Today’s promise
”He will be called Immanuel.” The name Emmanuel means “God with us.” Matthew 1:23
Pray
Jesus, Immanuel. Thank you God that you are always with us. Thank you that you came to live on the earth with us. Help us to remember that you are always present. Show us how to tell people that you promised to be with us, forever. Amen
