Isaiah 7:14
Watch for this: A girl who is presently a virgin will get pregnant. She’ll bear a son and name him Immanuel (God-With-Us).
Impossible is a word that comes to mind when reading this passage. God defies, smashes, destroys what we perceive to be impossible.
Even in the word impossible are the words I’m Possible.
What situation in your life right now seems impossible? Think, a virgin womb. Can your dare to believe it is possible for the same God to destroy, defy and crush what you see as impossible and become God with you, where ALL things are possible?
The expectant hope we celebrate this advent as we prepare our hearts for the coming of the one who makes all things new is summed up in this idea - All things are possible because God is with us - Immanuel.
Let’s pray: “Immanuel, Lord Jesus, We who are anxious over many things look forward to your coming among us. To you we say, "Come Lord Jesus! Help us to receive and embrace the Hope eternal that only You bring. Emanuel, God with us. Amen”
