Scripture

6 For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on David's throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the LORD Almighty
will accomplish this.

Observation

Christmas is one of my most favorite times of the year! How about you? Wouldn’t it be great if we could celebrate Christmas again…say in…July! Today’s Devotional reading takes us to Isaiah 9 and it is one of my favorite passages to use at Christmas. I believe that this was written about 700 years before the birth of Christ. What a powerful prophecy about Jesus! Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace…Jesus is all that and more!


Application

How about mediating on Isaiah 9:6-7 all day today! Let’s do it!


Prayer

Heavenly Father, you are Wonderful! What a powerful scripture to think about today. Lord, help us think about you more than anything else today. In the morning one of our church members will be going in for surgery. I pray that you touch her body and bring complete healing so that she might serve you again soon in our preschool. You are the Great Physician! You are Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Amen.
