RSA Lockdown // Season 2 //
Matthew 1:23 “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel! – which means, God with us” {NIV}
I read a wonderful story which EM Bounds includes in a book on prayer and I quote:
“Robert Louis Stevenson told a vivid story of a storm at sea. The passengers below were greatly alarmed, as the waves dashed over the vessel. At last, one of them, against orders, crept to the deck, and came to the pilot, who was tied with rope to the wheel, which he was turning without flinching. The pilot caught sight of the terror-stricken man, and gave him a reassuring smile. Below went the passenger, and comforted the others by saying, “ I have seen the face of the pilot, and he smiled. All is well””
When Jesus is with us at the helm of our life vessel, we have a confident assurance that “all is well” through the storms of life-currently lockdown- and those that will still come. He is with us. He is Immanuel!
[If you do not have that assurance of Jesus as Immanuel, I would love to hear from you]
