Read; Matthew 1:22-23

God had promised it many times. Men, women, and angels had been waiting for it for a long time. Now, it has happened in Jesus. We have God with us. Jesus is Immanuel. We live in a world that has been touched by God's very presence. And it happened just like the old prophets said it would.

Prayer

LORD God, my heavenly Father, thank you for keeping your promises, especially when it cost you so much to do so. I want to know you better, O God, not just as someone I study, but as someone I encounter in my daily life. I'm looking for you, so please let me know you're there. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
