Merry Christmas!

The people walking in Darkness
              Have seen a great light...
For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given,
             And the government will be upon His shoulders
 And He will be called
            Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,  Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9: 2, 6-7a niv


As Isaiah wrote those prophetic words, the people of God faced threats and challenges on every side.  Isaiah, more than anyone, knew the bleak reality of the immediate future.  But he also knew the promise of God!  He lived in the awareness and the assurance that God is sovereign over all the earth – and beyond.  May we live in that same confident knowledge this Christmas season – and all through the coming year!
