S - For a child will be born for us, a son will be given to us, and the government will be on His shoulders. He will be named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. - Isaiah 9:6
Sing for joy, Daughter of Zion; shout loudly, Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, Daughter Jerusalem! The Lord has removed your punishment; He has turned back your enemy. The King of Israel, Yahweh, is among you; you need no longer fear harm. - Zephaniah 3:14-15
O - The names of Christ: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father and Prince of Peace. These names tell of His character. In Zephaniah, the Lord is removing punishment, turning back your enemy...He is bringing peace. The verse says you don't need to fear harm...that's because He is the Prince of Peace
A - Peace is definitely needed this week. Saturday night a girl in our church was killed in a four wheeler accident. She was only 20yrs old and had been married only 6 mths. She and her husband were riding a four wheeler together when she was thrown and killed instantly. He was driving. With the tragedy in Sandy Hook on Friday and the accident that happened here on Saturday, people are in search and need of peace. We can and should rely on Christ to bring peace in times of trouble. The Lord is in control and His word says that we don't need to fear harm.
P - Pray for the Rhoden/Treece family during this difficult time. The viewing is tonight and the funeral tomorrow.
Cindy ever since reading this yesterday I have been thinking and praying for this girl and her family. She has been on my heart. I just can't imagine. I especially feel for her husband. Such a sad thing. Thank you for sharing. I will continue to pray for them.
