The Government Will Rest On His Shoulders

The Government Will Rest on His Shoulders

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.

Isaiah 9:6, EMPHASIS ADDED

Repeat several times what you have memorized so far.

Next, slowly read the italicized section for today.

Imagine the government being led by someone who is absolutely wise, loving, and caring, who treats all people equally, and who rules with perfect justice.

It’s hard to wrap our minds around what it would be like to live in a country with a leader who could do those wonderful things.

Rejoice and thank God that someday this will be a reality for the whole world.
