ADVENTure Day 9 –

What’s in a name?  We carefully named our daughter with a name that means “happy born again one.”  Then again, my name basically means, “brave power from the dark river.”  Oh well, at least I’m brave. 

God has been given many names.  The ones we think about in this season come from the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah, a great Christmas classic.  Handel wove several verses of the Bible into that beautiful chorus.  The most prominent to me is –

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, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Have you ever pondered those names?  Take a look at them and spend some time today to consider what they mean to you.  Has he counseled you?  Do you see Him as mighty?  Does He bring you peace?  Ponder that and feel free to comment here what these names of God mean to you!
