His Name Shall Be Called
Emmanuel–God with us! Reason for celebration not just once a year, but every day of our lives!
I am the LORD your God
And there is no other.
My people shall never be put to shame.“ And it shall come to pass afterward
That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your old men shall dream dreams,
Your young men shall see visions.
And also on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days.
“ And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth:
Blood and fire and pillars of smoke.
The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.
And it shall come to pass
That whoever calls on the name of the LORD
Shall be saved.
For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance,
As the LORD has said,
Among the remnant whom the LORD calls.” (Joel 2:27-32)
Here is a great song by MercyMe, called “God with Us.”
Beautiful post, Alice! That’s the way I like to look at Christmas- God is always with us! Some people seem to think that Christmas is about Jesus’ birth, but it’s much more than that, as that Scripture shares.
I also love that song by MercyMe, as well!
Dat’s beautiful.
