WHO IS HE TO YOU?

Today's reading: Isaiah 7-11

"For a child us 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." Isaiah 9:6 NLT

What are you calling God these days?

Sure the day's verse was plastered all over your Christmas cards and in your thoughts as the nativity scene sat on the coffee table in your house, but what about now?

Do you know Him as your Wonderful Counselor--even when His counsel goes against what you want to do?

Do you know the might of God--even in the unanswered requests of your heart?

Is the hope of eternity with your Everlasting God spurring you forwards--even on the days when people rub you the wrong way?

Does the Prince of Peace rule in your heart--amidst the chaos of this earth?

Don't place God on a shelf to use and refer to on Sundays.

Don't resort to God as your 9-1-1 call in the midst of turmoil or fear.

Crawl into His holy lap and rest. Step into His throne room and make big asks. Lean into His always steadfastness and trust Him with all you don't know.
