IMMANUEL: GOD IS With Us
110th BDS – 11/30/2023
Scripture Reference: Isaiah 7:14
“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”
Isaiah 7:14 KJV
It’s something how at the most crucial, critical times in our lives we forget that GOD IS with us. I’m sure some will say, “Nope don’t know what you’re talking about, I always know He’s with me!” Okay.. alright.. yeah, and that is probably right before the tears and overwhelming waves come almost drowning us causing an outcry for help and that’s when the often used: “LORD, You said You would never leave me nor forsake me!!!”, flies off of the tongue!!! Right? Of course I’m right! But, at moments we are much more like the Scripture that reads:
“And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.”
Mark 9:24 KJV
And that’s okay! See that is when our GOD IS at His best!!!
“I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.”
John 14:18 KJV
“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”
Hebrews 13:5 KJV
“There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”
Joshua 1:5 KJV
“For the LORD will not cast off his people, Neither will he forsake his inheritance.”
Psalm 94:14 KJV
“The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us: that he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers. And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the LORD, be nigh unto the LORD our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require: that all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else.”
1 Kings 8:57-60 KJV
Final Thought: Times are hard and will get even harder but, no matter how it looks, how it feels and/or how high and rough the mountain looks in front of us.. our GOD IS with us!!! The bills pile up, resources thin out and through every bad financial decision.. our GOD IS with us!!! Every strained friendship, every failed relationship, every broken marriage.. our GOD IS with us!!! Every conflict of interest, every battle, every test, every temptation.. our GOD IS with us!!!
“Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the LORD. Then spake Haggai the LORD’s messenger in the LORD’s message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD.”
Haggai 1:12-13 KJV
