Advent Devotional, Monday, December 3

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)

The many titles of the Lord Jesus reveal His wonderful multi-faceted ministry to men – the many ways in which He can minister to every broken place in the human heart. We often drink from wells that do not satisfy, for we forget Him who is able to give us counsel, might, and peace.

Lord, may we grow in our ability to present You to others, and hold You up as the answer for every man's need.
