Jesus is Immanuel

‭Psalms 115:1-8 NIV‬
[1] Not to us, [Yahweh], not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness. [2] Why do the nations say, "Where is their God?" [3] Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him. [4] But their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands. [5] They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see. [6] They have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell. [7] They have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but cannot walk, nor can they utter a sound with their throats. [8] Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.

Our God is in Heaven, but He is also here with us.  Jesus is God-with-us.

Jesus can speak, see, hear, smell, feel, and walk.  And we who trust Him will be like Him.  He is our prototype.

Father, thank you for sending Jesus.  Jesus, thank you for being Immanuel, and thank you for sending Holy Spirit.  Thank you for your power and love.  Please flow through me today.
