God is with us

Do you ever wonder if God is with you?  The last two years have been unprecedented for all of us.  Some of us may have asked: Where is God?  Life as we once knew it has changed, and some of us may wonder if we will ever get back to 'normal'.  But what is normal?  A virgin conceiving a child, is certainly not normal, but God used this to give His people a sign.  There are many examples in the Bible where God gives His people a sign to encourage them, to direct them, or to show them that He is with them.  Think of the three wise men: the Lord gave them the Star of Bethlehem to show them that Jesus had been born.  Jesus, also called Immanuel, God with us, was born in human form, He died and rose again to take away our sins.  Yet He left the Holy Spirit here on earth to be our guide and comforter.  So, this Christmas as we remember what Jesus has done for us, know even if you don’t always feel that God is with you, that through the Holy Spirit, God is always with you, Immanuel, God with us.
