Good Morning,
Today's theme is that God is always with us. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit always are with us, each and every one of us...every moment that we live and breathe. They are our helpers in life who teach and guide us through all our days. Sandy wrote, "I am forever grateful of the revelation He has recently shown me of who He is. He is truly Immanuel, 'God with us' always!!!"

Today's Devotional
"God is With Us"
by Sandy Billingham
"There Is Healing In His Presence"
I was so amazingly blessed lately when God touched me deeply after showing
me that He is with me all the time. I was doing some research on what Immanuel
meant as well as looked up many scriptures confirming it as well. Immanuel
means "God is with us."
Many of you may be thinking to yourself that you already knew that and it is nothing new under the sun. I will have to say I too knew in my head that God is with me all the time, but it was not totally embedded in the depths of my heart what that really meant.
The Lord reminded me that not only is He with me all the time, but He was
with me even in the darkest hours of my life. He was with me during the most
difficult and most traumatic times of my life. He was there wherever I was. He
sat with me, walked with me, cried with me, rode in the car with me, hurt with
me, ect. He never has left my side nor yours!
To show you how much that meant to me, I literally in my mind's eye walked
through a previous incident in which has been quite stressful. At every turn I
would picture Jesus with me on the scene. I kept Jesus and His presence in the forefront of my
mind. After walking through the incident
step by step, at the end I was able to experience His peace and rest and
forgiveness. And the best part about it,
I am not continuing to replay it in my mind.
The Lord showed me the reality of His presence with me and it brought
devine healing to my heart and mind and soul. I am no longer a prisoner to that
situation. I am experiencing full freedom and peace!
I am forever grateful of the revelation He has recently shown me of
who He is. He is truly Immanuel,
"God with us" always!!!

"The Nearness of God"

God sent His son to bring all of these things
to men on earth plus joy, and many more.
However, the greatest gift of all that
However, the greatest gift of all that
He gave us were these gifts of
Salvation and Eternity
