God Is With Us

God Is With Us

Joseph and Mary found that in the quiet they heard and accepted the call from God. That simple act of meditation and trust changed their lives. Do not be afraid to be silent and still so that the calling of God on your life can be revealed. They named their son, “Emmanuel,” which means, “God is with us.” He wants to be with you. Invite and accept Him into your life so that His work through you can be shared with the world.

Inspired by Matthew 1:18-23

Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, planned to dismiss her quietly. But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet: “Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,” which means, “God is with us.”
