God is your everlasting Father!

I love this next name given to Jesus that we’re discussing today: “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given…And His name will be called…Everlasting Father…” (the Bible, Isaiah 9:6, NKJV)

It’s surprising to see the words “son” and “father” right next to each other, describing the same person. But I believe that it’s the heart of God, the Father’s heart, speaking in this prophecy. And I believe that God wanted us to always remember that He desires to be a father for us. I love that God specifies by saying “everlasting.” Another version says “Eternal Father.”

God wants you to remember that He’s faithful, always present with you, and that nothing could ever change that. He was, is, and always will be your Father.

And as your perfect Father, He knows what’s good for you. He will willingly and gladly give you what you need.

The Bible says, “‘If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!’” (according to Matthew 7:11)

God is a good Father to you! Ask Him for good things!
