ADVENT DEVOTIONS FOR FAMILY AND PERSONAL WORRSHIP

He will be named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.

Read Isaiah 9:6-7

We celebrate the season of Advent because God has entered human history in the form of a man. Never before and never since has humanity had a greater hope than in Jesus Christ.
- When you are confused, discouraged, or brokenhearted, He is the Wonderful Counselor.
- When your circumstances seem impossible, when failure appears to be inevitable, and when it looks as though your world is caving in, He is the Mighty God.
-When loneliness creeps in or it seems no one cares, He is the Everlasting Father. He is the one who passes on to you an inheritance making you a part of a royal family.
-When the stress of hectic schedules and demands upon your time take their toll, when the family scene is anything but "heaven on earth" remember, He is the Prince of Peace.

Begin your prayer by thanking God for being sufficient for everything you will face today. Commit yourself to living in that sufficiency as a praise offering right now. Be sensitive today to the Word of God. Listen for His voice; look for His hand upon your life. Tune out the garbage. You'll be in for a real adventure.
