Many times in the past, I have heard the meaning of the word, Emmanuel, especially around Christmas. However, I don't think I fully "got" the meaning until today's devotional reading. For whatever reason (maybe His Spirit), when I focused on the power of Emmanuel, "God with me," I felt overwhelmed by His Presence. I hope and pray that this new understanding and acceptance of these words will stay with me for all of my life.
Did any of the words in today's reading or scripture make you feel overwhelmed or awed by His Presence?
On an earlier blog, someone sent in the beautiful hymn, "Jesus, Jesus, There's Something About That Name." I used it in my worship time again today as it is such a wonderful reminder of Jesus - Emmanuel!
