Isaiah 9:6 (NIV)
For to us a child is born …
And he will be called …
Mighty God.
It’s Christmas time and we tend to focus on sweet baby Jesus. Isaiah reminds us that He is also Mighty God — drop-to-your-knees-in-awe mighty. The God who spoke the world into existence. God who rose from the grave. God who is coming in power to establish His kingdom and judge the living and dead.
Good morning, Lord. You are King of kings and helpless Babe. You are my best Friend and my Lord God Almighty. You are perfectly loving and perfectly holy. Teach me to love and fear You at the same time. Fill me with the wonder of Christmas, the joy of Easter and the hope of eternity, in Jesus’ mighty name.
