>The Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child 
>and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.
>--Isaiah 7:14
>New International Version
>
>THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
>God is interested in us personally. So much so that he personally 
>gives us this sign. Because of Matthew's explanation of the meaning 
>of the name Immanuel, we know what that sign was - Jesus coming to 
>live as God with us. His presence is God's presence. His life is 
>God's sign. The miracle of his conception is God's mystery and also 
>his statement of grace for us.
>
>MY PRAYER...
>Holy and Almighty Lord who refuses to be detached and far away: I 
>thank you for coming to live among us in Jesus. I thank you and 
>praise you for your sacrifice and pain. I know this sign cost you 
>greatly so please let my praise in prayer, song, thought and life 
>reflect my thanks to you in Jesus. Amen.

The LORD your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.
         ~ Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV)
