It is a challenge, and you can do more than you think you can

COT:
What does Immanuel mean in Hebrew? God is with us.

We hear Immanuel a lot at Christmas time, God is with us. But, remember He is with us always, not just at Christmas.

He is no longer a baby in the manger as the secular world would like to keep him there.

He is not some far off diety who is not involved in our lives.

He is the maker of heaven and earth, the one who holds all things, mighty God… 

And He is with us…..lets not forget that as we move into the new year.

Deuteronomy 31:8 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.”

Prayer
Those who are not feeling well
Those who will be traveling in the near future
