Matthew 1:23 Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Emmanuel, which means 'God is with us.'
Where are you at this moment because wherever you are God is right there with you.
Do you ever scratch your head and wonder why we allow ourselves to get upset and bothered when we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God is for us and with us. Why do we allow ourselves to be worried when we know Almighty God, the most powerful Being in the universe, the wonder making, miracle working God, is not just with us but in us?
God gave us Emmanuel, He gave us Jesus so we could spend eternity with Him and be saved from doing life on our own in our own strength. God made us for Himself because He wanted us in His family. What an honour that is.
We were designed to contain God. We all have a God shaped hole inside us and thank God He sent Jesus to fill it, but we have to allow Him to fill us.
Just in case the worries or anxieties of life have filled you up instead, may I give you a nudge to draw aside with your Saviour and let Him fill you afresh with His peace and joy and love. Give Him all those things that oppress you and pull you down, the things that keep you awake in the night and let Him be God to you, the One who knows you so intimately He even knows how many hairs are on your head.
As we begin a new week let's keep reminding ourselves all through each day that God really is with us, He hasn't gone on holiday, He's not too busy, He's not mad at us but loves us deeply, and He's waiting and wanting to be 'God with us'. Have a great week.😊
