His Holy Name

His Holy Name…

Good morning! As we stand on the threshold of Christmas, let’s pause and reflect on the incredible gift God has given us in His Son, Jesus. His coming changes everything.

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.
Isaiah 9:6

Hundreds of years before Mary held her newborn son, the prophet Isaiah caught a glimpse of a coming King—a child, a son, promised to a weary, waiting world. This King wouldn’t arrive in power or splendor, but in humility. Not as a conquering warrior, but as Wonderful Counselor, offering wisdom and guidance to the lost. Not as a ruler demanding tribute, but as Mighty God, stepping into our humanity to save us.

Imagine the longing of those who first heard these words: a promise of an Everlasting Father, whose love would never fail, and a Prince of Peace, who could calm the storms within and around them. For them, it was a distant hope. For us, it’s a fulfilled promise.

This is the wonder of Christmas: Jesus came to bear your burdens, heal your heart, and rewrite your story with His grace. Today, as you prepare to celebrate His birth, let the weight of Isaiah’s prophecy sink in. The King has come. And He’s come for you. Let Him be your everything.

Which of His titles from Isaiah 9:6 means the most to you this season? Why?

Heavenly Feather, my heart stands in awe of these words Isaiah wrote so long ago—each name of Jesus a promise, each promise perfectly fulfilled in Your Son. You didn’t send a distant ruler, but a Savior who draws near. When I’m lost, You are my Wonderful Counselor. When I’m weak, You are my Mighty God. When I feel alone, You are my Everlasting Father. When chaos surrounds me, You are my Prince of Peace. As Christmas draws near, let these ancient words stir fresh wonder in my heart. Thank You for coming for me. I surrender my life to You, and I am eternally grateful. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

You can never truly enjoy Christmas until you can look up into the Father’s face and tell Him you have received His Christmas gift.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
