Christmas Time Is Here ~ Day 12

December 12
Isaiah 9:6-7 (NKJV) 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.

Today we are going to finish up the second half of verse 6 and, girls, it is pretty deep and oh so good for us to hear!

*Wonderful ~ Judges 13:18 (AMP) And the Angel of the Lord said to him, Why do you ask my name, seeing it is wonderful?

*Counselor ~ Romans 11:33-35(NIV) Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! "Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?" "Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him?” Isaiah 28:29 (AMP) This also comes from the Lord of hosts, Who is wonderful in counsel [and] excellent in wisdom and effectual working.

*Mighty God ~ Rev 4:8 (NIV) Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come." Zephaniah 3:17 (AMP) The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior [Who saves]! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them]; He will exult over you with singing.

*Everlasting Father ~ Psalm 90:2 (NIV) Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. Isaiah 63:16 (AMP) For [surely] You are our Father, even though Abraham [our ancestor] does not know us and Israel (Jacob) does not acknowledge us; You, O Lord, are [still] our Father, our Redeemer from everlasting is Your name.

*Prince of Peace ~ Ephesians 2:14a (NKJV) For He Himself is our peace, 2 Thessalonians 3:16 (AMP) Now may the Lord of peace Himself grant you His peace (the peace of His kingdom) at all times and in all ways [under all circumstances and conditions, whatever comes]. The Lord [be] with you all. Hebrews 7:2 (AMP) And Abraham gave to him a tenth portion of all [the spoil]. He is primarily, as his name when translated indicates, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, which means king of peace.

You covered a lot today in your devotional time…praise Him for who He is ~ He loves you.

Merry Christmas ~ Laurie Kay
