Isaiah 9 - Wonderful Counselor

My oxygen mask when I'm out of breath.

This verse has such a strong pull on my heart: "For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on His shoulders. And He will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6, NLT).

And the funny thing is, I can't really tell you why.

First off, let no one ever convince you Jesus was just a prophet, just a good man. This verse clearly states He is Mighty God, Everlasting Father. Meaning, He is eternal. He always existed, before time, and everything was created through Him (John 1:3). And His rule is eternal—it will never end. His kingdom will never be destroyed (Daniel 7:14).

I just can't wrap my head around the fact that this Mighty God, this King and Ruler, who needs nothing, came to this world as a baby. A tiny, helpless baby. I mean, up until then, God had plenty of experience with men. Their pride, their greed, their hunger for war.

But He didn't come as a fierce warrior, but as a tiny, helpless baby. He placed Himself willingly at the mercy of people. A child is born, but a Son is GIVEN. He gave Himself, willingly, freely, so He could restore and heal our broken state - restore the relationship between God and us. "For God so loved the world..."(John 3:16, NIV).

That is Love, People. With a capital L. Reckless, selfless, unconditional Love.

So, knowing this... don't ever say or think you're worthless. Not good enough. Because it's a lie. HE thought (and thinks) you're worth it. He gave up everything He had and what He was, for you. You personally.

You know, I was once one of "the people who walk in darkness" (Isaiah 9:2). Though at the time, I considered myself 'enlightened'.

He gave it all, so that I could have it all.

He was pierced for my rebellion, crushed for my sins. He was beaten so I could be whole. He was whipped so I could be healed (Isaiah 53:5).

And like the Father says in Luke 15:31 to His son: "All I have is yours." (NKJV)

That's just too much... What else can I say but thank You, Jesus. Thank You, thank You, beautiful Jesus.

I am yours forever. ❤️

Isaiah 9 - Wonderful Counselor

2. The people who walk in darkness will see a great light.
For those who live in a land of deep darkness, a light will shine.

6. For a child is born to us, a son is given to us.
The government will rest on his shoulders.

And He will be called:
Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God,
Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace.
