How have you experienced God? Do any of these names bring testimonies of Him to mind?
My hope and prayer is that you experience all these names in your life relationship with Jesus.
🌹Thank You, God!

The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, Because he trusts in You.
Isaiah 26:3 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.26.3.NASB1995
Perfect peace You have brought to those who trust in You, Jesus. Your gracious and glorious works on behalf of Your beloved has drawn us to have a steadfast mind continually seeking You.
Lord, You will establish peace for us, Since You have also performed for us all our works.

*Matthew Henry’s Commentary:
He is the everlasting Father, or the Father of eternity; he is God, one with the Father, who is from everlasting to everlasting. He is the author of everlasting life and happiness to them, and so is the Father of a blessed eternity to them.

Isaiah 9:6d NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.9.6.NASB1995
A baby came into this world, but not any ordinary baby, but God the mighty!!
If you want to truly know how mighty God is and be humbled before Him, I recommend reading: Job 38:1-42:6
God IS mighty!!
For the Lord your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God . . .
who does not show partiality nor take a bribe.
Deuteronomy 10:17 NASB1995

And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor,
Isaiah 9:6c NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.9.6.NASB1995
I wonder. . .
How many people are dependent on the counsel of professional counselors?
How much money is spent on this counseling?
How helpful is the counsel?
This also comes from the Lord of hosts, Who has made His counsel wonderful and His wisdom great.
Isaiah 28:29 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.28.29.NASB1995
I know a Wonderful Counselor who is available 24/7. By prayer, the word of God, and the indwelling Holy Spirit, many have found great counsel.
I wonder. . .
How is the prayer life of individual believers?
How is the prayer life of the church?
How often are Christians in the word of God – reading, meditating, studying – applying the word to their lives?
God also gave us the church – individuals who are to care for one another, encourage one another, help one another in times of need. The family of God.
Should we not seek God first?
🌹Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!

***In no way am I saying that counseling or seeking counsel is not helpful.
And the government will rest (be) on His shoulders;
Isaiah 9:6b NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.9.6.NASB1995
There are many who govern. Some govern institutions, some townships, some cities, some countries, some their homes, and most everyone would say they govern their own lives.
Ultimately Jesus is the Govenor of all.
And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
Matthew 28:18 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.28.18.NASB1995
Since Jesus has all authority doesn’t it make sense to surrender to His will? His way? His purpose? Under His governing power we are loved, safe, cherished, protected, blessed and so much more.
You are either with Him or against Him. The choice is yours. Won’t you surrender to God’s will? Today? The alternative is not pretty.
For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.
1 Corinthians 15:25 NASB1995

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us;
Isaiah 9:6a NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.9.6.NASB1995
Isaiah, a prophet of the Old Testament, spoke of a coming child. A child who would be born, but not just any child. . .
Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.
Isaiah 7:14 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.7.14.NASB1995
A child born of a virgin. A child who would be Immanuel, God with us!!
It was even revealed to Isaiah the geneology of this child and what attributes this child would have.
Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, And a branch from his roots will bear fruit.
The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and strength, The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
Isaiah 11:1-2 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.11.1.NASB1995
This is a child worthy of following and aspiring to be like.
For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, And like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him.
Isaiah 53:2 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.53.2.NASB1995
Humble and plain. And yet, majestic, worthy of praise, worship, devotion, and our love and attention.

John 3:16 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.3.16.NASB1995
Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
1 John 4:15-16 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.4.16.NASB1995
By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
1 John 4:13-14 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.4.13.NASB1995
🌹And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.

But whoever has the world’s goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?
Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.
1 John 3:17-18 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.3.18.NASB1995
What does living and walking with Jesus look like?
Living – to know the word of God, as well as the Word who is God, so as to be proactive. To know God’s Word is one thing but to act on it is another.
Walking – is putting into action, out of obedience, courage and dependence upon God, His Holy Spirit, what the Word has said.
If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.
James 2:15-17 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.2.15.NASB1995
But someone may well say, “You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.”
James 2:18 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.2.15.NASB1995
