God With Us — The Power of Immanuel
Scripture Reading:
“They shall call His name Immanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” — Matthew 1:23
🕊️ MEDITATION
One of the greatest significances of Jesus’ birth is the revelation of Immanuel — God with us.
God did not just come to save us and return to heaven. He came to remain with us, walk with us, and dwell among us. The birth of Jesus ended spiritual loneliness.
No matter where you are — in pain, confusion, joy, or uncertainty — God is present.
Immanuel means:
God with you in the storm
God with you in the waiting
God with you in the battle
God with you in the victory
You are never alone.
