Immanuel
Friday December 8th, Jeremiah 33: 14 " 'The days are coming,' declares the LORD, 'when I will fulfill the gracious promise I made to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. 15 " 'In those days and at that time I will make a righteous Branch sprout from David's line; he will do what is just and right in the land. In the midst of life going sour, God drops a sprouting branch. The barbarians were at the gate and the nation was about to fall, and in the midst of it, the promise is renewed. When the barbarians are at our gate, the promise is there for us also. Immanuel, God with us, comes into our darkness and announces that the light that is coming, is already here. Lift up you heads, stand up straight, wipe the tears from your eyes, because in the midst of the darkness, there is hope, there is light, there is love, there is your God, with us.
