I
AM IMMANUEL--God with you at all times. This promise provides a solid
foundation for your Joy. Many people try to pin their pleasures to
temporary things, but My Presence with you is eternal. Rejoice greatly,
Beloved, knowing that your Savior will never leave you or forsake you.
The nature of time can make it difficult for you to enjoy your life. On
rare days when everything is going well, your awareness that the ideal
conditions are fleeting can dampen your enjoyment of them. Even the
most delightful vacation must eventually come to an end. Seasons of
life also come and go, despite your longing at times to "stop the clock"
and keep things just as they are.
Do not look down on temporary pleasures, but do recognize their limitations--their inability to quench the thirst of your soul. Your search for lasting Joy will fail unless you make Me the ultimate goal of your quest. I will show you the way of Life. In My Presence is fullness of Joy.
The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).
Matthew 1:23
The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.
Deuteronomy 31:8
You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16:11 (NKJV)
