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: Psalm 88:1-4

Psalm 88:1-4  A Song or Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. "O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:  (2)  Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;  (3)  For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.  (4)  I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength" I've said this before and I will say it again (and probably more times before we get to the end of the Psalms) - I love the Psalms because I can surely identify with them. Most Psalms start in a low place and as the writer expresses his thoughts, the Lord begins to lift him up out of that dry place.  Though this entire Psalm is a fervent cry unto the Lord, the Psalmist tells us specifically in three verses that he cried daily unto the Lord. Just a few Psalms ago, we were reminded that God always hears our prayers. ...

Daily Devotion: Psalm 100:1-5

Psalm 100:1-5   A Psalm of praise. "Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.  (2)  Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.  (3)  Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.  (4)  Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.  (5)  For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations." "Know ye that the LORD he is God." As I read the 100th Psalm this morning, this verse seems to be the hinge upon which all the other verses are settled. Know ye that the LORD he IS God. Jesus prayed in His intercessory prayer, "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." (John 17:3) We read in the book of Hebrews chapter 11:6, "... he that cometh to God must believ...
