Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace
For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. Isaiah 9:6-7
After our little home group finished a study on the book of Daniel I thought it good to continue to study the prophets. So with that in mind I progressed into the book of Isaiah.
In these devotional writings I wanted to pick out a scripture here and there in Isaiah to acquaint some back to Isaiah because of the prophecies given and through them to be encouraged in the Lord. My prayer is that you will find this book as encouraging and thought provoking as I have!
Think of it. Some seven hundred years prior to the birth of Christ, Isaiah prophesied of his birth, his life, his suffering and still further of His ultimate Kingship on this earth.
Think of it. One of Christ’s name is Wonderful. Is not the Lord wonderful to you? Consider all that He’s done for you. Each and every day his mercies are new… just for you.
His name is Counselor because He gives the best counsel. If and when you need someone to talk to, if you have a decision to make, consider His counsel.
Christ’s name is Mighty God. Christ is above all, over all, and Lord of all. He’s your Lord, Savor, and God. Yet, you know Him personally and He knows you personally.
Christ is our Everlasting Father. A Father who provides for you and who protects you every day. Nothing can come against you unless first it goes through our Heavenly Father. What a great comfort, and what great peace this thought gives. Our Father causes everything in our life to have purpose.
And finally, Christ is our Prince of Peace. Nothing on this earth will give us true peace except our relationship with our Prince. When our world is a mess or in turmoil or just the run-of-the-mill grind of life we have peace because we know the Prince of Peace and our hope is in Him.
