Hope is woven throughout the story of Jesus’ birth. In Isaiah 9:6, we see God’s promise of a Savior, the One who would be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. This verse reminds us of the hope Christ brings—not just for salvation, but for our daily lives and relationships.

How Isaiah 9:6 Speaks to Relationships:

  1. Wonderful Counselor: Jesus provides wisdom when we face challenges in our relationships.
  2. Mighty God: His strength sustains us when we feel weak.
  3. Everlasting Father: His love models the selflessness we need in marriage.
  4. Prince of Peace: He brings calm and reconciliation to troubled hearts.

Take a moment to reflect on this verse with your spouse. Where do you need hope in your relationship? Write down your thoughts and pray together, asking Jesus to fill that space with His presence.

"Lord, thank You for sending Your Son to be our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Help us place our hope in You and reflect Your love in our relationship." Amen.
