“Emmanuel... God with us.”
Matthew 1.23
This verse amazes me because Jesus was... God... with us.
It amazes me that God the Father sent Jesus, and that Jesus willing obeyed. (Philippians 2.5-8)
It amazes me because I will spend my life thinking about this verse, believing it and accepting it with all my heart, but it is so far beyond my mind that I could never completely understand it.
“What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?” - (Psalm 116.12-13)
What can I do for the LORD because He has been so good to me?!
This is the question asked by the Psalmist.
“O satisfy us early with thy mercy,
that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.”
Psalm 90.14
Over the next few weeks so many people will be looking for some sort of satisfaction.
That is not a bad thing – the verse above speaks of being satisfied. The tricky thing is how people will go looking for satisfaction.
