Isaiah 9:6 - Gift of All Gifts; For Unto Us A Son Is Given.

Isaiah 9:6 (KJV) For unto us a child is 
born, unto us a son is given: and the government 
shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be 
called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The 
everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.  

Isaiah 9:6 (NIV) 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 Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, 
Prince of Peace.  

Isaiah 9:6 (NLT) For a child is born to us, 
a son is given to us. The government will rest 
on his shoulders. And he will be called: 
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, 
Prince of Peace.  

COMMENTARY PEARL

Our Counselor
   Did you know that God Almighty wants to 
reveal His will to you? He has a specific plan for 
your life as an individual. Psalm 73:24 says, 
You will guide me with Your counsel, and 
afterward receive me to glory (NKJV). 
   Some people will go to a local bar and 
pour out their troubles to the bartender or 
anyone who will listen to them. Others will spend 
thousands of dollars on therapy. And some will go to a 
psychic, trying to get some kind of answer. Others 
might even turn to Google or Siri to try to find 
the answers to life. 
   I can tell you where to find answers. You 
will find them in Gods Word, the Bible. God is 
a counselor, and He wants to bring specific 
counsel to you. Isaiah 9:6 describes Jesus this way: 
And His name will be called ... Counselor 
(NKJV). That takes care of the decisions of life. 
   The Bible says, If you need wisdom, 
ask our generous God, and he will give it to 
you. He will not rebuke you for asking (James 
1:5 NLT). You can have an appointment with Jesus 
Christ whenever you want it. He always has time for 
you. 
   One night a religious leader named 
Nicodemus had an appointment with Jesus. And one 
afternoon, a woman from Samaria who had tried to fill 
the hole in her heart with relationships with 
men had an appointment with Jesus. 
   God is ready to make an appointment with 
you, too, and be your counselor. Hes vitally 
interested in whatever youre facing. 
   In the book of Numbers, we find a 
blessing that the Jewish priests were to pronounce 
over the people: The Lord bless you and 
keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you, 
and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His 
countenance upon you, and give you peace (6:24-26 
NKJV). 
   The phrase lift up His countenance 
upon you means that God will be paying 
attention to you. Hes interested in what youre 
facing. His name is Counselor. [Greg Laurie from
