And His name shall be called...Mighty God, Everlasting Father

Even as I am sitting here typing these Victory Calls for this week, I am being washed over by praise and joy in my Savior. Today, would you meditate on these truths? He is our Mighty God. He is our Everlasting Father. Please take a few minutes to meditate on our Scripture selection this week. Perhaps you might even want to journal the precious truths God is giving you.

Isaiah 9:6-7
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and of peace
there will be no end,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
to establish it and to uphold it
with justice and with righteousness
from this time forth and forevermore.
The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.

And His name shall be called...Mighty God, Everlasting Father

Mighty God. He is all powerful. There is nothing, absolutely nothing beyond His power or control. He is mighty. We cannot even begin to comprehend the power our Creator has or is. I don't think of it as power He possesses, but it is Who He is. When we see events occurring in nature like Tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricanes, a beautiful sunset, and the whisper of a breeze, we just begin to glimpse His power.
He is also Everlasting Father. There has never been a time when He was not. He is the Great I AM, the Alpha and Omega, the Everlasting One, Eternal and Infinite, without measure or bounds. He IS, perpetually in the present. He will neither cease nor wane. And He is all those things in relationship as our Father. He is Everlasting Father. He is My Everlasting Father. He is YOUR Everlasting Father, if you know Him personally.

Can you sense the delight of those truths? I hope they are touching your heart like they are mine.

Blessings,
Diane
