Scripture

 

 

I heard that Martha, over at Beyond the Literary Horizon, was going to do a Christmas themed blog party and, since I love Christmas, I quickly agreed to join. There are just 4 of us bloggers so you should have time to visit us all each day. And there is a giveaway. I hope you'll join us every-other-day for more Christmas fun! Let's get started!

Scripture 

 The whole nativity story in Luke and Mathew are so wonderful, but one of my favorite verses is

 

Isaiah 6:9

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

 

Just think about it. It was for US that Jesus came. For me. For you. Even before we were born, and even when we had our backs to God and wanted nothing to do with Him. He loved us. Not only that, but look at His Name!

Wonderful – It is wonderful to think that the King of glory, the One who created heaven and earth is our Savior.

Counselor – When you are faced with a problem, or choices and don't know what to do, we have the greatest Counselor of all!

The Mighty God – Just think, the King of the armies of heaven is with you! When you are faced with temptations, troubles, and such, the Mighty God is always there. He is always ready to help you.

The Everlasting Father – In this year when so many people seem to be losing a loved one it is comforting to know that our heavenly Father is always and forever going to be there. He will never leave us nor forsake us. And He is our Father! His arms are always open for us to run to when life is overwhelming, when we have no strength, or when there is abundant joy, and things to be thankful for.

The Prince of Peace – Peace. That seems to be a forgotten word this year, yet the One we celebrate this Christmas season is the Prince of Peace. He gives peace when there seems to be no peace. All we have to do is choose to accept it as a free gift.

When I think of Christmas stories that have to do with trouble and peace, I think of one of my own. I don't remember if I used this particular verse in the story or not, but it would have fit.
