Advent Devotion - December 20th


23rd Day of Advent
Written by: Nancy Ulerich

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

What do you want for Christmas? We spend so much time preparing for Christmas. Getting photo cards made, writing Christmas letters, shopping, buying gifts, wrapping presents, decorating, trimming multiple trees, baking, cooking, partying …
But, are we prepared to receive our gift?
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government will be on his shoulder, and his name will be called “Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6

Dear Everlasting Father: Please help me make time to prepare for the richest of all gifts. Allow me to receive your gift of a wonderful, counselor, mighty God and experience the fruits of the Prince of Peace. Amen
