“Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us” (Matthew 1:22-23).
Miracle of miracles! God with us! How absolutely miraculous is the plan of our great God. In fulfillment of Isaiah 7:14, this virgin shall bring forth a child. An incredible miracle took place in the manner of conception as well as the purpose of the conception—God with us! Here are a few of the encouragements to us today. First, God keeps His promises. Second, His Word is sure and fully trustworthy in every aspect. Third, our Savior is no ordinary person. He is miraculous in every way. Last, while we believers may be lonely at times, we are never alone. Our great God is with us. So whatever you face today, dear friend, take heart. If the Lord could miraculously bring forth His Son, He surely can take care of you and your situation today.
For today: God is with us! Regardless of what we face, this truth will quietly but surely help us today.
