Scripture
Isaiah 9:6 “For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. And the government will rest on his shoulders. These will be his royal titles: Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
Observation
The birth of Jesus Christ was predicted thousands of years in advance. Isaiah saw the coming of the Messiah. He saw the birth of Jesus. His prophecy reminds us of who Jesus is. He is royalty. He is wonderful, mighty, everlasting, and a prince. He walks along beside us as our counselor and he brings peace to the world. He is a great king. He is a great God.
Application
The only proper response to the royalty of Jesus is worship and obedience. I worship him because he is great. I obey him because he is my king.
Prayer
Thank you for sending Jesus Christ to this world. I am grateful for your love. I give you all the praise, glory, and honor. You are my king. You are a great king. I pledge my allegiance to you and your kingdom.
