And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” [Isaiah 9:6]( (NIV) O Mighty God, this Christmas Day, we praise and thank You 2,000 years after Jesus became Immanuel — God with us. Before the world began, You saw Him as a tiny baby surrounded by rough straw, wrapped in cloth strips and lying in an animal’s feed trough. The King of the world laid aside His crown to become flesh and blood like us so we may have peace. The One through whom all things are created became part of creation. The One who made the stars aligned them to lead wise men from far lands to Bethlehem. The Lord of heaven’s armies sent His angels to earth to proclaim peace to all His people. The Lord of heaven and earth sent a holy invitation to lowly shepherds and led them to worship. You laid aside Your might and power by putting on humility so that all of us would feel welcome in Your presence. O Everlasting Father, thank You for the gift of Your Son. We bless Your Name for sending Him as a sacrifice so we can become Your daughters and sons. You sit on the throne of majesty in perfect holiness, watching over all the world with perfect sovereignty, understanding our hearts and minds with perfect knowledge.
