Happy Joyous Christmas to you my friends!!! Happy are the People whose God is the Lord. Psalm 144:15

Christmas Eve was filled with mystery and marvelousness, and now Christmas Day is a Gift of the babe Jesus born – and we are blessed with having Him grow in us each day and today too, a blessing knowing Jesus as our Shepherd, Jesus as Lord.

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone. Isaiah 9:2

He will take care of his flock like a shepherd: He will gather the lambs together and carry them in his arms; He will gently lead their mothers… Isaiah 40:11

Today, Christmas, is a beautiful opportunity to share from the prophet Isaiah, and oh what a blessing to ask to have child-like AWE everyday and imagine that view of the Heavens FILLED with God’s Glory.

May we all appreciate the creation anticipation of a child Savior, like Isaiah did, and also the expectation of a King. Isaiah wrote hundreds of years before Jesus came and there was yearning for this fulfilment. It was shared first with Mary and her family, then in the distant Bethlehem, city of David, shepherds who knew to tend their flocks were called in to first see this Christ child. Our Lord, is a Shepherd to His Own children, that’s us, our Lord knows how to tend His Flock, rebuild His Kingdom people and Restore all to Himself.

Isaiah wrote sweetly of the coming of the King, a new covenant and HOPE. Isaiah wrote of God being Almighty Creator. The Lord Himself holds us and our collective futures together. Let us all be grateful and satisfied as much as we are curious. Let us call Him our Wonderful Counselor and Prince of PEACE too. 

Isaiah 9:6-7

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. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.

Isaiah 40:26 ESV

Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these? He who brings out their host by number, calling them all by name; by the greatness of his might and because he is strong in power, not one is missing.

AMEN AMEN AMEN

MERRY CHRIStMAS!

Happy Birthday Jesus!
