“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).
This is the greatest and most glorious of the mysteries of God! What dramatic steps He took to redeem His people. To bypass the sinful nature of mankind and yet bring forth a fully human man would require a mighty miracle. To the people living in the time of Isaiah, the words must have been incredible. “A virgin shall conceive!” I can just hear many wonder to themselves, “Impossible! How could such a thing be?” Yet with the Lord, nothing is too hard. How awesome is the Lord in all His ways! Think of the wonderful power of the Lord. Thank Him today for the steps that He took to be your Savior.
For today: How thankful we ought to be for the Lord’s plan. It is incredible indeed.
