Emanuel - God With Us - How does that Help? (Mt 1:18-24)

We hear Isaiah's prophecy of God with Us so often, we easily fail to appreciate the Gift this is. Deists believe God created the world, set it in motion, but is not involved. Christians believe that God helps shape history. In fact, if we work with God, History is really His-Story! To be part of God's plan promises a brighter future, than if we "Go it alone".  Yet to accept the gift of Emanuel, and let God help us share our lives and world; we must hear, and follow. This is difficult, but fear not, even if we fail sometimes, if we are persistent God can still guide us! Thank God!
