Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace: Jesus!

“For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

 Isaiah 9:6 (ESV)

Let’s deeply listen to our Wonderful Counselor, intently observe our Mighty God’s works, fervently pray to our Everlasting Father, and fellowship with the Prince who brings peace that passes understanding.

JESUS!

A Child is born. Pause to think about Jesus entering the world through the womb of a young woman. In her womb, His skin appears, His brain and spinal column, eyes, ears, and arms begin to develop.   

Have you held a baby? Did you marvel at the baby’s ears? The fingers and toes? But this baby is the Messiah.

A Son is given to us. Mary will hold God in her arms. She will nurse Him. She will watch Him take His first step. Joseph will teach Him carpentry. But this Son will be their Savior.

A Ruler governs. This Child will carry the weight of the world upon His shoulders and be King of Kings.

This Child’s name is Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 

God’s Promise to the World: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace … JESUS!

Jesus is our Wonderful Counselor who leads us in all wisdom. He is our Mighty God who overcomes the world. He is our Everlasting Father, our Abba, who beckons us to approach Him and tell Him our hearts’ desires. Jesus reigns victoriously and is our Prince of Peace, who breathes on us His peace, peace with God. 

Loving Father, Thank You for giving the world Your only begotten Son, Jesus, so that we can have eternal life in You and in Jesus. Empower us to walk more closely with You as we prepare to celebrate Your amazing Gift. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Father, You are love, and You have given us so many gifts, but the greatest of these is Your love. Your love is patient and kind. May we reflect Your patience and kindness. Your love isn't focused on Yourself but on others. May we abandon our self-centered focus and rejoice with Your truth. Jesus, You bore all things. You bore our sins on the cross so that we could live with You forever. Holy Spirit, empower us to bear all things, for we believe that You are transforming us. We hope in our God Almighty, and that enables us to endure all things. Your love never ends. Thank You, Father. Amen. Father, we rejoice in where You have placed us this day. Help us to see You in all that we do and in all that we encounter. We know that You have us in Your hand, and You are working Your perfect will in us. May we bless You and all those we see today. Thank You that Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory. Forever. In Jesus' name, amen. Are you anxious? Troubled? Fearful? Want peace even in the midst of the storms in your life? Call out to God. He is near, and He loves you. “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are.” (Matthew 6:28-29) Our spiritual worship starts with surrender to God. If God is for you, who can be against you? Who will charge you? Who condemns you? Who will separate you from Christ's love? God loved you so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, into the world to pay the price for your sins, so that you could live forever basking in His love. “O LORD, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; May you bask in God's blessings and rest in His peace.
