Isa 8-10; Heb 8;

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. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this.


I always found it interesting that God promised this in the middle of His anger at a people that had turned against Him so many times even they could not remember how many times it was. With this scripture I am reminded it is because He is God. Because, He is love. Because He is faithful that H
e fulfills His promises no matter what. I Am on vacation and I just had a conversation with my granddaughter (she is 4) on the phone. She said “Papa why are you not at church”. I said “I am on vacation so I am not going to church tonight”. She said “Why, God is not on vacation”. Even when I am on vacation I am Glad God is never on vacation from me or you. Our God is always faithful and ready to take care of me and you. Well the truth is tonight my granddaughter is at church and I am on vacation and God is still watching over both of us and you too. So tonight I just praise God for His faithfulness. I am thankful He is watching over her and you (me to) while I am on vacation.

May God bless you and Keep you in the knowledge of His son the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. That He was faithful enough to give us, even in the midst of His anger, because of His great love.
