Scripture to Read: Isaiah 9:6
As we continue in Isaiah 9:6 today, we read how our Messiah is called Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. To know our Lord Jesus Christ as “Mighty God” does not always sink in for us. We often allow the circumstances of this life to get us distracted, feeling overwhelmed, and even defeated by the weight of it all. But, our Lord Jesus Christ is our Mighty God. We must choose to “be strong” in Him and in the strength of His might (Ephesians 6:10). We must choose to put on His armor, as we enter the battlefield each day (Ephesians 6:11-18). We must believe this truth with all our heart and walk in this truth, so we’re able to walk in victory no matter what battles we face. Our Lord is also Eternal Father. He’s always been and will always be. Because He is eternal, He has created us to be His for all eternity. For those who never choose Him as Lord, they will live eternally separated from Him. This is why we must share Him with everyone we know. Finally, we read that our Lord is Prince of Peace. This world tries to offer people “peace” through drugs, alcohol, yoga, self-help classes, etc.… True Peace can only be found in a relationship, and then a daily fellowship with our Lord Jesus Christ. We must seek Him (Colossians 3:15; Philippians 4:6-7; 1 Peter 5:6-7) to experience His peace completely.
