Immanuel-"God with us"
Sorry I said this before, but it still blows my mind God is with us. Always. Never Leaves. Or Forsakes. Amen!
Anyway, I did a little devotional in the book unafraid by Francine Rivers. It talks about Mary's perspective on Jesus. My goodness this story almost made me cry! I can't imagine being the mother of Jesus. A fourteen year old girl who was not rich is going to marry another man when the Angel comes and tells her about Jesus! Then she becomes pregnant, which she could be killed and is almost broken off with Joseph (divorce their time) but she had amazing faith and probably amazing love for Jesus, the Son of God. She really inspires me to have the faith she did. She knew danger was ahead, but she obeyed! How many times have you and I seen danger and we shutter away? Even when God is with us. My goodness, I hope to the faith this young girl had.....
I am now reading 1st Corinthians 13 for guidance and now exploring the book of 1st John. I am also reading "My utmost for His highest" by Oswald Chambers. Here's something interesting to ponder from his book:
"God evident in the Flesh. This is what is so made profoundly possible for you and me through the redemption of man by Jesus Christ"
God bless and happy new year!
