What a God we have! HE encompasses every role to meet our needs-even those needs we'd rather not admit having.
Isaiah 9:6 describes four specific roles of God, beginning with "Wonderful counselor". In this role God, as king carries out a royal program for the world. God is in charge of the details of our days, in our homes as well as in our countries and the larger universe.
As "Mighty God" he functions as an omnipotent soldier. God is able to fight and win any battle for his people.
"Everlasting Father" refers to God's role as provider and protector-someone we can lean on and trust.
As " Prince of Peace," God is able to bring about the completion of his will for all time: health and restoration for us individually and for our society.
"Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." What a God we have!!
