Weekly Bible Verse – Christmas Edition

December 21, 2009 · Filed Under Weekly Bible Verse · Comments 

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.  Isaiah 9:6 (NASB)

This is the new memory verse that our kids are learning this week and I thought it would be apropos to share it with you.  What does it have to do with personal finances,  investing, long-term planning, or getting out of debt, you ask?  Well, nothing…but there is much more to life than just money.

At this time of year, with all the hustle and bustle (and money being spent), remember to pause periodically and focus on the original reason for this season.  There is certainly not much wondrous about fighting traffic, grappling for parking spots, and then trudging through the snow (big snow storm in Virginia this week!) to the mall to buy stuff.  But there was one wondrous night that took place about 2000 years where something happened that had never happened before and has not happened since…God sent us our very own Wonderful Counselor to actually live with us here on earth.  Reflect on how amazing that is as you go through this week.

God bless and have a Merry Christmas…

    It’s such a shame when we shop God out of Christmas. I am really pleased that you shared this verse, because it is so special and encapsulates the whole Christmas period and helps us to focus on Jesus as the essential element. I love the presents too, but God has to come No1
