The Glory of His Presence

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, which is translated ‘God with us.’” – Matthew 1:23 NKJV

Reflection
God with us—this truth changes everything. His presence brings strength in weakness, joy in sorrow, and hope in despair. Fear, worry, and loneliness flee when we remember He is with us. He is not distant but ever-present, leading us in His will. Trusting His presence transforms our perspective and fills us with courage. If God is with us, nothing can stand against us.

Application

• Seek His presence above all else.
• Trust His strength in your weakness.
• Rest in the joy of knowing He is with you.

Connection
Thank You, Lord, for being Immanuel, God with us. Help me live with a constant awareness of Your presence and draw me closer to You each day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
