The people who walk in darkness will see a great light – a light that will
shine on all who live in the land where death casts its shadow. Israel will
again be great, and its people will rejoice as people rejoice at harvesttime.
They will shout with joy like warriors dividing the plunder. For God will break
the chains that bind his people and the whip that scourges them, just as he did
when he destroyed the army of Midian with Gideon's little band. In that day of
peace, battle gear will no longer be issued. Never again will uniforms be
bloodstained by war. All such equipment will be burned. For a child is born to
us, a son is given to us. And the government will rest on his shoulders. These
will be his royal titles: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace. His ever expanding, peaceful government will never end. He will
rule forever with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David.
The passionate commitment of the Lord Almighty will guarantee this!
Isaiah
9:2-7
It is my prayer for you this Christmas to experience the peace and joy that the Wonderful Counselor wants to give you. May you experience Him this Christmas as the Mighty God that He is. May you feel loved as the Everlasting Father holds you in His arms, and anoints you with the strength that the Price of Peace provides!
Merry Christmas! May the glory of God be lived out in your lives this Christmas Day!
