Day 7: Good tidings of Great Joy – ‘The Everlasting Father’s presence!
is it really Good tidings of Great Joy for me!? DAY 7 of 12 : 12 reasons for Celebration ! 'The Everlasting Father's presence!
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, ....his name shall be called ... The everlasting Father..." Isaiah 9:6
He is not only the father of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. but, also the everlasting father of our generations - our parents, grand parents, great grand parents ... ! He remembers their heart's intents, their deeds and the prayers they took for their children and generations ... and is gracious to us... He is watching our intents, deeds and will remember our prayers for our generations too !
The nature of the Everlasting Father does not change. Just as before, even now,He is waiting to reveal himself to the generations and become real in our life. The one who spoke with his people is the still the same ! The one who longs to hear us call him Abba, Father is still the same ! The one who desires everlasting peace for his children is still the same ! The one who was with our previous generations, will be with us too !
Just as a young child wants his/her Father’s proximity, Take effort to be in his Shadow (Ps 91:1) Run to him for Shelter when in trouble (Ps 91:4) Inspite of allour flaws, He will cover you under his wings and there you shall find safety, rest and peace for the journey !
His presence with us is everlasting through our journey, and He is faithful to his promises, unlike any other source we depend on !
As a young child trusts his earthly father, Trust the Everlasting Father, and "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!" Psalms 34:8
Isn't it interesting to note that Jesus Christ is mentioned as the Everlasting Father !
Ponder over the times you experienced his love and faithfulness and Celebrate the season for 'The Everlasting Father' is with us throughout our journey !
