Our goal this month is to worship Jesus – the Son of God who came to earth as a man. And we’ll do that by spending some extra time on this wonderful, prophetic verse out of Isaiah.
“For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6).
What a great verse to focus on for 5 days. For the first 4 days, choose a different one of these names of Jesus in this verse to spend extra time on in worship. Spend time worshiping Him for being your Wonderful Counselor (or whichever) and for all that means to you personally. Be sensitive to the Spirit’s leading as to whether you need to enter into a time of confession as you submit to Jesus in each of these ways – as your Wonderful Counselor, your Mighty God, your Eternal Father, and your Prince of
Peace.
On the 5th day you will have done all 4 names individually, so now worship God for being all of these things to you and more. On this day, look at the additional names and titles of Jesus on this page to bring into your time of worship of Him. Jesus’ names are powerful, so spend enough time so that the reality of each one digs deep into your core.
I’m really looking forward to this challenge, and know it will bring a powerful, new dimension to my worship as we enter the Christmas season. Please let me know how you were blessed!
