Isaiah 7:14 (NASB)
“Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and she will name Him Immanuel.”
Devotional Thought:
God Himself gave the sign. Salvation is not man’s idea, but God’s initiative. In the virgin birth, heaven interrupts human history, bringing us the miracle of Immanuel—God with us. Gratitude starts where prophecy begins: God is faithful to His word.
Three Comments:
- The virgin birth proves that salvation is supernatural, not man-made.
- Immanuel means God’s presence, not from a distance, but among us.
- Prophecy fulfilled is proof that God keeps every promise.
Poem – “Immanuel”
God promised a sign of hope,
A child born beyond human power,
Heaven stepping into earth,
Holiness wrapped in flesh,
God with us forever.
The virgin carries the promise,
The womb holds the miracle,
The world waits in silence,
Prophecy stands unbroken,
Salvation draws near.
Immanuel is His name,
Presence is His gift,
Mercy comes to the humble,
Glory fills the earth,
God is here.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for the promise of Immanuel, God with us. Thank You that salvation is Your plan and not ours. You stepped into our world when we could not reach up to Yours.
Teach me to rest in Your promises, for every word You speak stands true. May gratitude shape my heart today as I remember the miracle of the Savior’s birth.
