Today’s Bible Verse: “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" - Isaiah 9:6–7 (NIV)

Hope feels different when you remember who Jesus actually is. Isaiah’s prophecy names Him in ways our weary hearts often forget: the Wonderful Counselor who brings wisdom when life feels tangled, the Mighty God who carries what we can’t, the Everlasting Father who never abandons, and the Prince of Peace who calms the chaos within and around us.
