And His name shall be called...Prince of Peace

All this week, we have been meditating on these two verses. I hope you have joined together with me and other Victory Call readers as we think deeply within our hearts about these truths. Even though we are not Bible scholars, it is the Spirit of God Who illumines His Word to our hearts. Come. Come to the brook and drink deeply of the Living Water. He will meet you. Expect His arrival and then tarry with Him a while.

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...Prince of Peace

When asked a few years ago which character or attribute of God is most precious to me, this was my answer: His peace. Because of a 30-year history with anxiety (starting at age 7), I longed for peace and in Christ I have found peace. In my mind, we can deal with anything as long as we have the peace of Christ in our hearts. The Scripture says He Himself is our peace (Eph 2:14) Therefore it is through the personal relationship with Him that we have the peace. For He is the Prince of Peace.
