December 25: Isaiah 9:6-7
 
Key Verse: Isaiah 9:6
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 Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
 
Devotion:
Today we finally celebrate the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ after what has been, for many of us, a very challenging year. But none of this really compares to the weight which was placed on Jesus’ shoulders during His ministry on earth; a ministry He took on willingly because of His great love for us then and now!
 
No matter how much time passes and how much goes wrong in this world, we continue to have a Saviour who loves us and cares for us. During this year many may be questioning “where was God” amongst all the bad things which have happened. He has been here, waling with us and trying to protect us every step of the way. Unfortunately, we make our own choices in life and we upset the apple cart now and again!
 
Christ continues to love us and to want what is best for us in our lives no matter what things we get up to and no matter how far we stray away from His protection. When we listen and obey, we find out how much He does love us. When we look back on what has happened to us, we may well see how much He has protected us along the way.
 
But whatever happens, I do pray today you will see some more of the Saviour’s love for you, no matter where you are and no matter what state you are in.
 
Merry Christmas everyone, and may God continue to bless you.
