"...and they shall call him Emmanuel, which, being interpreted is, God with us." (Matthew 1:23)
One of the greatest blessings in having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is the knowledge that He is a constant companion and friend. His name "Emmanuel" emphasizes this point so poignantly. God promises through the coming of our Saviour that God is with us_for Jesus Christ himself is God in the flesh. What a blessed privilege it is to realize that we have His manifest presence in our lives. He said, "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee." It brings joy and comfort to know that we shall not travel the treacherous waters of life alone. He is with us in our boats. For this reason, we have the joy and confidence that we shall get to where He wants us to go. He will be with us on the mountain top, in the valley, in the flood, in the fire, and even in the darkest corners of this world. And since He is with us, nobody can be against us _ as long as we can stay on course with Him.
Therefore, we must never leave His side, we must walk with Hi, tak with Him and realize that H e is just a prayer away.
