"For 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. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end." Isaiah 9:6
Prince of Peace
These are the names that the son will be called. Names given by God that describe to us who Christ was coming to be. If we ever needed peace it would probably be now! To have hope during the economic crisis, during your own personal areas of crisis, and during a time that can ignite fear, requires that we focus on who Christ is. This focus will help us get a "grip" on our emotions and cause us to have more faith. We get a picture of who God is and who He sent Jesus to be through what we find in God's word.
Prince is from the Hebrew sar, which means a head person, chief, captain, or keeper.
Peace is from the Hebrew shalom, which means welfare, health, prosperity and peace.
Add these together and we can call him: The keeper of our welfare!
Prince of Peace means keeper of my well-being, and keeper of my welfare. That is good news in a world where all does not look well according to today's news.
Today reflect on the Prince of Peace.
Add to that the other names:
- Wonderful Counselor
- Mighty God
- Everlasting Father
- Prince of Peace
- Immanual, The God who is With us
With each praise of who Christ is, allow the secular cords of the season to become untangled a little more.
Be filled with His Peace!
Christmas Prayer
Lord, you are my peace, Thank You. Remind me to remember you today. Show me how to celebrate you today. May I be in the Presence of Christmas as I am in your presence as I go about my day.
