This passage that heralds the Savior’s birth speaks volumes into our lives...
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. Isaiah 9:6
Which of His names do you need the Lord Jesus to be in your life? Really and truly think about each of these names as you read this verse again ever so slowly.
We are known by our names. Say someone’s name and usually a perception, either good or not so good, comes immediately to our minds of what they are like. Nevertheless, with the Lord Jesus, every one of names brings truth – Who He truly is.
So whatever name or hat, as it were, that you need for Him to be in this Christmas season, embrace His working in that title for your life completely. Run into the soft, yet powerful embrace found in the shadow of His wings. Leave the details in His care, and empty your hands to grab hold of all Jesus truly is – for He is all you will ever need.
