Immanuel - "God With Us!"

We walk through our daily lives seldom mindful of the One who walks beside us! In the struggle and stress of the daily grind we do not even realize that He is as close to us as the mention of His name! And we only call upon Him when in a crisis! If we could just break down that wall of forgetfulness and realize and know that He is walking right along beside us. Everywhere we go, He is there. He is our “very present help!” Our constant friend and companion ever watching out for our good! There are days we wake up and just expect everything to go wrong simply because we feel bad or didn’t get enough sleep, and generally we were right! But if we could wake up with the thought every morning that… “He is here with me... it’s going to be ok!” we would experience much better days! He has promised us through His Word, and said it so many different ways… yet still we forget! Still we feel alone. That was not His intent when He created man! He wanted to walk with His creation! It is only man that learned how to hide! God is not hidden from us! He said “I will walk among you and be your God” Leviticus 26:12
