Key Scripture: Isaiah 9:6 (KJV)
For unto us a child is born… and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor… The Prince of Peace.
Devotional
After the celebrations quiet down, God still remains. The same Christ we sing about is the Christ who counsels, carries, and comforts you on ordinary days.
Jesus is Wonderful Counselor—He speaks wisdom into confusion. He is Prince of Peace—He brings calm where anxiety tries to rule. This is not seasonal comfort; it’s covenant reality.
Renewal often happens in the aftermath—when life slows and you realize what you truly need. Let Jesus minister to you beyond the holiday moment.
Today, let His names become your prayer. Invite His counsel. Receive His peace. Allow your heart to be renewed by who He is.
