Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace

From Christian Surfer's Devotional:

It would seem that second only to the pleasure of riding waves is the pleasure surfers receive from naming things. We do this with our breaks: indicators, boneyard, bombora, inlet, bay, insides, outsides, leftovers, right-overs, and more. We do this with ourselves: Flea, Buffalo, Rabbit, Midget, Gidget, Simpo, Kong, Twiggy, Dingo, Kanga, Sea Bass, and the list goes on and on.


As we celebrate advent, as we wait for our King and Hero who is coming, who is approaching, at the top of our list of questions is ‘What is his name?” “What do we call him?” The prophet Isaiah informs…

“For to us 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 9:6-7

For all who have suffered from bad advice. For all who feel exhausted by the constant demands of life. For all who feel abandoned and unloved, even orphaned. For all who face frustration and turmoil for the better part of their days. For all of us…Christmas is coming! It has come. It is coming. And it is coming again.

he who began a good work

Philippians 1
I thank my God every time I remember you. 4In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
Amen!
