For a Child will be born to us, a Son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 NASB2020

Prophesied by Isaiah years prior to the occasion, Jesus came to us. A gift from the Father to restore us to a relationship with Him.

True to His name, He is a wonderful counselor. I’ve been honored to sit at His feet for years. He’s the best listener and shows me ways I wouldn’t have seen. He doesn’t judge me when I’m angry because He’s been angry. 

He’s a Mighty God. That word mighty implies impressive strength or power. To have access to that strength has made me feel protected. Like nothing can touch or harm me.

Eternal Father. Ahhh, everyone needs their Father. I’ve lost two earthly fathers and felt a sense of abandonment, but having an eternal Father means He’ll never leave me alone. He’s with me always and forever.

And last but certainly not least in this description is my Prince of Peace. That peace that passes understanding, that guards my heart and mind. Through every storm, in every season, and every emotional reason, He brings me peace.

So whatever you’re looking for today, He is that for you. Fall at His feet and give Him the greatest gift–you. Give Him your love and gratitude but also your service. He’s always waiting for you.

Have a wonderful day celebrating Him.
