Advent Devotional - Day 23: by Beth Wigert



READING: Isaiah 9:2-7

“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

The Lord brings hope where there is no hope. Where there is joy He increases the joy. The Lord seeks us out to bless us. His Light shines on us. We are so thankful for our blessings. God’s strength will set us free of life’s chains and bring peace. There is no burden too heavy that can’t be carried side by side with God.

God gave us the ultimate gift, the gift of His Son, the Promise and Good News for all mankind. This gift insures that God’s blessings, protection, guidance and peace within will last forever. This gift of faith lives in the heart and soul of each one of us. God’s undying love for us gives us the undying faith that is our very Christian foundation of being…of doing…of living. Forever and ever.

Heavenly Father,
You gave us the ultimate gift of your son to save us from our sin. Keep our faith strong so that we pass the knowledge of this gift on to others throughout the world. Amen.
