he will be called:
Wonderful

Everlasting
Father, Prince of Peace.

government and its peace
will
never end.

Observation
Christmas
in July! This passage comes at a great time in my daily Bible
reading. We sure need all that Christmas brings – all of the joy –
all of the hope.
Last
night a nurse asked me to call a Covid 19 patient. The nurse shared
with me that the patient just found out that her husband had died.
Both had the virus and both were in the hospital. They were not that
old, a lot younger than I am!
In
all of this mess I am so glad that I have a Savior – And He is
called “Wonderful
Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
“His
government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness
and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all
eternity.The passionate commitment of the Lord of
Heaven’s Armies will make this happen!”
Come,
Lord Jesus! Come!
Application
Today
I will celebrate and worship – the Christ of Christmas!
How
about you? Will you celebrate and worship?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, Isaiah 9:6-7 is a reminder to me that I have a Savior and His
name is Jesus. He is ultimately in control even when things seem like
they are completely out of control. I know that He is watching out
for me. So today I will celebrate and worship the Christ of
Christmas. Thank You for sending us a Savior!
Luke
1
30 “Don’t
be afraid, Mary,” the angel told her, “for you have found favor
with God!
31 You
will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus.
32 He
will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The
Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David.
33 And
he will reign over Israel[f] forever;
his Kingdom will never end!”
34 Mary
asked the angel, “But how can this happen? I am a virgin.”
35 The
angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power
of the Most High will overshadow you. So the baby to be born will be
holy, and he will be called the Son of God.
Luke
2
8 That
night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding
their flocks of sheep.
9 Suddenly,
an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the
Lord’s glory surrounded them. They were terrified,
10 but the
angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring
you good news that will bring great joy to all people.
11 The
Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in
Bethlehem, the city of David!
12 And you
will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped snugly
in strips of cloth, lying in a manger.”
13 Suddenly,
the angel was joined by a vast host of others—the armies of
heaven—praising God and saying,
14 “Glory
to God in highest heaven,
and peace on
earth to those with whom God is pleased.”
