DECEMBER 21 PEACE AT THE PERFECT TIME By Kyle Gray Florida Youth Camp Director, Word of Life Camps
For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)
You know that moment in, a story where all seems lost? The hero is finished, the prize is unachieved, and the enemy has won. Maybe like me, you might get a pit in your stomach. Your mind races through scenarios where, hopefully, someone unexpectedly steps in and it all works out. But you wonder, will it?
Maybe moments like that have happened in your life as well—days where you think all is lost.
Many of us look at the state the world is in and feel that something is missing. People and leaders that should be standing up for us do not. Systems that ought to work for common man seem not to. Even for us, regular people, we ourselves can so easily look out for self and even look to self for answers. Enter Jesus, offering a completely different way of doing and looking at life. Jesus stepped into the hurt of this life to offer hope. Jesus came not only to be the answer for the world, but for each of us. He came to bring salvation to all. Jesus was announced to the world as the Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. The one we could look to for hope in this broken world. And while one day, He will make all things right, He can also give you hope today. Right now.
Jesus came to be the Perfect: Counselor for the Hurting God to the Helpless Father to the Fatherless Peace to the Weary
Would you look to Him today for hope and help? Would you invite Him into whatever is going on in life? No matter how it all looks, He can bring hope.
