'TIS THE SEASON: EMMANUEL

Good Afternoon Friends!

I pray you have a had a great day

As I was preparing my post yesterday,

                                I went back and read some posts from Christmas Seasons past

In the process of that review, I came across a post I wrote in 2010

NOW – A great deal has changed in my life since that time

HOWEVER – One thing remains the same

The LORD is with us always

The LORD is with me –

He has stood, and stands and will forever be with me through every season

The LORD is with you

That is the meaning of EMMANUEL

‘The Lord Himself will give you a sign: the virgin will conceive and give birth to a Son and they shall call His Name Emmanuel [God With Us]’ Isaiah 7:14

I believe that is one of the most beautiful verses

This Christmas season – and always – it is so important to remember
          that HE IS INDEED WITH US

Here a few more verses to encourage your heart and remind us all of His loving presence:

This poor man cried,

and the LORD heard him

and saved him

out of all his troubles.

Psalm 34:6 NASB

Have not I commanded you?

Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous.

Be not afraid, neither be dismayed,

for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

Joshua 1:9 AMP

It will also come to pass that before they call, I will answer;

and while they are still speaking, I will hear.  

Isaiah 65:24 NASB

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go;

I will counsel you with My eye upon you.

Psalm 32:8 NASB

Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands;

your walls are continually before Me.

Isaiah 49:16 AMP

God is always on the alert,

constantly on the lookout for people who are totally committed to Him.

You were foolish to go for human help when you could have had God's help...

II Chronicles 16:9 MSG

For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth

to show Himself strong in behalf of those whose hearts are blameless toward Him.

II Chronicles 16:9 AMP

The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him [who revere and worship Him with awe] and each of them He delivers. O taste and see that the Lord [our God] is good! Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who trusts and takes refuge in Him. O fear the Lord, you His saints [revere and worship Him]! For there is no want to those who truly revere and worship Him with godly fear.

Psalm 34:7-9 AMP

The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous and His ears are open to their cry.

Psalm 34:15 AMP

God keeps an eye on His friends,

His ears pick up every moan and groan.

Psalm 34:15 MSG

Do you not know?

Have you not heard?

The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth

does not become weary or tired.

His understanding is inscrutable.

He gives strength to the weary,

and to him who lacks might

He increases power.

Isaiah 40:28-29

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God,

to those who are called according to His purpose.

Romans 8:28

My Prayer For You Today:

The Lord bless you

and watch, guard, and keep you;

The Lord make His face

to shine upon and enlighten you

and

be gracious

(kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you;

The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you

and

give you peace

(tranquility of heart and life continually).

Numbers 6:24-26 AMP

Have a Blessed Evening!
