Today in my Bible reading I read a verse that I have read many times, but for some reason today's revelation was more intimate for me.
Isaiah 9:6
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.
The Lord God Almighty has give us a child, a son directly from Him, this son will rule over us with authority from the ultimate authority {GOD}, the Son {Jesus} will influence us, guide us, he will hold us in check. Jesus serves as the law for us, we are to regularly accompany him and utilize him. This is all through him governing over us. This is what is on his shoulders, his purpose.
From our mouths we will call him Wonderful Counselor, which means we will say he is great, excellent and marvelous to provide us truth and sound advice regarding decisions or help we need in our life.
We will call him Mighty God, he has superior power and strength on earth and in the spiritual realm, he has this power everywhere. Imagine what our individual life would look like if we lived every moment as this were true. He is of great size, he is enormous. He is exceptional, huge, He is of importance.
God has established him as an Everlasting Father, there is no end to him. He is incessant; he is constantly recurring. He never gets wearisome or tired of interceding for you. He is always there on your behalf. He is lasting, he endures, he is permanent. He does not last for a moment, nor is he brief, nor is he short lived or temporary. He is ETERNAL.
We will call out come close Prince of Peace. He is the sovereign one who dwells in and supplies us with peace. He is noble, he has authority, he is a ruler. He is admirably fine and he has genial characteristics. He is favorable in life, favorable with our growth and our comfort. He is a genius. The peace he offers is He is our treaty between God and our sins. Through him we have harmony with God. In him and through him we can live a life of nonbelligerency, not living as if we are at war. In him we can be untroubled, tranquil and content.
Who knew that from the words; Son, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace that Jesus was all that and more?
