Live God Adventures

December 3

“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

How beautiful to think that woven into creation God planned our salvation through Jesus. Isaiah prophesied so many years ago that a Child would be born, the government would be on His shoulders and we would call Him Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

He had you and I in mind. He knew the sin and chaos that would come, He knew about our “mess” and He loves us anyway.

This Christmas season let’s reverently worship our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace!

Journal Prompts:

Take some time to thank God for His provision, salvation, and all He has done for you. Take apart this verse and write each name, then write something specific that God has done for you in that way. (Example: Counselor: Thank you God for counseling me in the ways I should go, leading and guiding me in every decision I have to make.)

Family Activities:

Write each name of God on a separate paper then ask your child(ren) how God has been faithful in this way (give prompts if needed). Then hang them somewhere you will see them throughout the month and thank God for who He is when you see them.

The holiday season is my favorite time of year! I say holiday season because it really starts in September/October for me. The air is a bit more “crisp” (hah.. I live in Florida, maybe I’m just dreaming…), there are more opportunities to see family, Harvest Festivals in October, Thanksgiving in November, Christmas in December, then New Years! This season is my favorite! However, we can become so bombarded with life, get togethers, schedules, parties, meetings, events, and so many other things that we forget what the Christmas season is about. I wanted to take this opportunity to create a devotional that will hopefully bring you (and your children if you have them) closer to the Lord this season. The devotionals will all be listed below and will be shared Monday, Wednesday, and Friday until Christmas Day on the Facebook page (do you follow there?!). You will see options for activities if you have children, journaling prompts, and other things throughout the month. Weekly posting will resume Christmas Eve, December 24th. Feel free to share the devotional with your family and friends! Keep in touch on Facebook and I would love to see pictures if you do the crafts, journals, etc!
