Always With Us…

…and they will call him Immanuel
Matthew 1:23

Everybody is known by his or her name. It’s what we’re usually addressed by and when someone calls our out name we respond. Our name is unique and can even give access to places & things that others might not have. Our name has legal weight and is used in letters, notes and documents that are for our examination. Everyone has a unique name and every name is known by God [Isaiah 43:1].

Today’s verse lets us know about a very special name that appears in the Bible just 3 times. It’s the Hebrew name Immanuel which means “God with us”. This name had been prophesied and called out in the bible for over 700 years and then Jesus was born. Jesus fulfilled the prophecies that were called out. Ever since, God hasn’t been far off, He has been with us. This is the truth we live in even if our lives fall short of the promise.

You and I have Immanuel, the one and only true living God, with us right now. Jesus said He’d remain with us even to the very end of the age [Matthew 28:20]. So, it doesn’t matter who hurt us, what happened or where we are. We’re never alone. We’re never helpless. We’re never orphaned. God is with us & He will turn every situation around for His good [Romans 8:28].

This week why not stop being anxious about life, relationships & tomorrow [Matthew 6:24]. Continually remind yourself that GOD IS WITH YOU. All life’s problems can’t conquer you [Romans 8:31] because God ensures that you will overcome and have victory. That’s God’s Plan, Jesus’ purpose and our hope. We’re set up for a fabulous life ahead if we don’t forget the promise or yield to the pressure of life’s storms.

A New Morning….

“They’re created new every morning. How great is His faithfulness!”
Lamentations 3:23

Mornings are the most magnificent part of the day. As darkness is dispelled by light a whole new day is opened up before us. A new day that is filled with new possibilities. A new day that is overflowing with His plan, future & purpose. Our yesterday has passed away and we must discover a whole new day before tomorrow arrives. Each morning delivers something new that if not ignored can be explored.

Today’s verse lets us know the power of a new morning. The power of the new dawn. Every morning God faithfully creates a day filled with His love & never-ending mercies. This means that everything about yesterday is gone. Everything about yesterday is finished. We have a new day and it’s choc-a-block filled with God. If God is for us, who can ever be against us [Romans 8:31]. It’s going to be the greatest day!

Many people focus on the darkness of their yesterday rather than on the brilliance of today. What love and mercy we didn’t discover yesterday can be found in the dawning of a whole new day. God faithfully fills every new day with both His love & mercy so we can discover & explore all the possibilities that the day contains.

This week lets wake up to a new morning every day. Let’s not revert to looking at the darkness of our past rather than the brilliance of a glorious new day. Whatever we failed to discover yesterday will be faithfully contained in our new day. So, why not go ahead and explore, discover & receive everything God has for you today. Then rest & get ready for a whole new day as the dawn breaks tomorrow.
