Daily Devotion: Isaiah 9:6 (3)

Isaiah 9:6    "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." 

Yes, Jesus is Wonderful!!  Everything about Him is wonderful: His birth, His growth as a child, His baptism, His healing, teaching, and wonderful miracles, His very life is wonderful. His death (though unwarranted by man) was wonderful, for He accomplished  the redemption of His people through the shedding of His righteous blood. His burial and praise God, His resurrection was wonderful !  Our hope is secured through those mighty deeds which only He could accomplish.

Everything about Jesus still brings wonder into our lives. He shows Himself strong on our behalf at the very moment we feel our need for Him. The wonderful thing about that is the fact that Jesus is always near us. Our hearts and minds should be filled with wonderment as we think upon His mercy and grace that has been given to us! There is so much to be said about this glorious man Who is the very Son of God. There is something about the very name of Jesus that is so wonderful. We can find peace and comfort by uttering the name, which should never be spoken unless it is in a sense of awe and wonder of His person.  There is "... none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12)  "... At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth..." (Philippians 2:10)  

Yes, Jesus is indeed Wonderful. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! Sweetest name I know. Fills my every longing. He keeps me singing as I go.

Daily Devotion: Colossians 1:25-26

Colossians 1:25-26    “Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;  Even   the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:” In verse twenty-four, Paul has expressed his joy in bearing hardship for the church. It is of this church, the body of Jesus Christ, that he is made a minister. Since Paul used the phrase “made a minister” in verse twenty-three of this same chapter, it seems there is something important that he wishes to convey. The Greek word translated as “made” means “to cause to be.” It was the will of God (Col 1:1) that caused Paul to become a minister. God is always the cause of true ministry. Although our fathers may be ministers, if we become true ministers of the gospel it is  not  because our fathers are ministers. True ministers of the gospel do not take that path because they seek honor for themselves, or b...

Daily Devotion: Exodus 7:6-10

Exodus 7:6-10    "And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they. And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh. And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent. And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent." Moses and Aaron had begun to doubt whether they were right for the job the LORD had given them. Here, it is evident that God granted them a renewal of their faith. Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them. In my opinion, all truly successful outcomes in our lives begin with this. Moses and Aaron were not young men. Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three years old. Still,...
