EMMANUEL

ISAIAH 12:6 (GW)
Shout loudly, and sing with joy, people of Zion!
The Holy One of Israel is great. He is among you.

LUKE 19:37-38 (CEV)
When Jesus was starting down the Mount of Olives, his large crowd of disciples were happy and praised God because of all the miracles they had seen. They shouted,
     “Blessed is the king who comes
       in the name of the Lord!
       Peace in heaven
       and glory to God.”


SUMMARY SENTENCE
Great things happen when God resides in our midst -- a cause for great celebration.

PRAYER
Almighty God, your headquarters is in heaven but you come to hang out with us. It's a great honor. Yet, we get so caught up in lesser things that we easily miss the real party. Help me to leave behind all that is insignificant and to focus on you -- living among us -- Emmanuel -- Jesus. I'm going to expect miracles. Amen.
