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. Isaiah 9:6 NIV
What a complete breath of fresh air this verse offers.
These words from the Strong's Concordance beautifully describe our Lord:
Wonderful (H6382) (a miracle: - a marvelous thing)
Counselor (H3289) (to advise, consult, give counsel, guide)
Mighty (H1368) (powerful, warrior, strong)
God (H410) (Almighty; unlimited power, omnipotent)
Everlasting (H5703) (Eternal, continuing future, forever)
Father (H1) (father, chief, principal)
Prince (H8269) (head person, Lord, master, ruler, keeper)
of Peace (H7965) (shalom, safe, well, happy, completeness, soundness, health)
Have you ever in any circumstance told God you were afraid, but in the midst of the fear, you felt complete peace as well?
It's something only God Himself can do.
Like a warm heated blanket on a cold winter's day, God can wrap our fears with peace, our anxiety and insecurities with wholeness, and our confused minds with guidance, leaving us feeling safe, complete, and happy.
This is the God we serve.
He's the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
And also the God of you and me.
He's our strong warrior;
He fights for us.
He is eternal,
has unlimited power, and is Lord and Master over all.
He is in control.
He loves us.
His name is Yahweh.
I pray that we feel loved and protected by our God as we celebrate His love this season
Much love,
Nina-Rita
