Wonderful

And His name shall be
​called Wonderful... 
Isaiah 9:6

Right now, I am enjoying a rare afternoon off from work... 

...because my civilian boss is on a two-week vacation. Earlier I had been reading in the book of Isaiah the prophet, where one of the names of the coming Messiah would be "Wonderful." And as I pondered what this word means to me, I began to think how wonderful the Lord has been in my own life.

With gratitude in my heart, I can declare that Jesus Christ has brought me out of a horrible pit of demonic madness. He has redeemed my soul and has delivered me from the hell my life had become. This was many years ago. And now I can look at where I am today and give God the thanks and praise that is His due.

Yes, the Messiah's name is Wonderful, because this is exactly what He is. As the Scripture declares, some of His many names are, "Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace."

The Lord is this, and so much more.

D.B.
