DECEMBER 14
When we interrupt our day to be still with the Lord for a couple of moments we can be renewed by Immanuel and His love for us. Our Advent Devotional is an invitation to quietly settle ourselves so we may know more of His presence with us. Find a quiet space to reflect on the theme and verses of the day. Spend as much time as you are able and be refreshed as you trust His presence with you today.
Immanuel: God with Us in the Child
This week, we look at the names given for Jesus in the prophecy of His birth found in Isaiah 9:6-7. The names reveal the way God gives Himself to us through His son, this child, Jesus.
“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. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end.” (Isaiah 9:6-7 NIV)
DAY 14 FOCUS
God with me as Prince of Peace
Peace I leave with you; My [perfect] peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. [Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge.]
(John 14:27 Amplified)
And let the peace of Christ, to which you are also called in one body, rule your hearts. And be thankful. (Colossians 3:15 CSB)
