We
thank You, Lord, that Jesus, Your Son, is “Immanuel” – “God with us”
(Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23). We look forward to the Second Coming of
Immanuel: “Now the dwelling of God is with men, and He will live with
them” (Revelation 21:3). When our thoughts turn to the Return of Christ,
may we think of His urgent call to faith: “When the Son of man comes,
will He find faith on earth?” (Luke 18:8). Lord, give us strength to
“stand firm in our faith”, to “believe and be saved” (Isaiah 7:9;
Hebrews 10:37-39).
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
