Advent - Day 5

Day 5:  Everlasting Father

No verses transition us from the picture of Mighty God to Everlasting Father quite like Isaiah 40:10-11...

Behold The Lord God comes with might, and His arm rules for Him; behold His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him...He will tend His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs in His arms; He will carry them in His bosom, and gently lead those that are with young.

Mighty Warrior - Gentle Shepherd!

Mighty God - Everlasting Father!

Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in His holy habitation.  -Psalms 68:5

As a father shows compassion to his children, so The Lord shows compassion to those who fear Him.  -Psalm 103:13

Mighty God - Everlasting Father...

A Paradox that we cannot wrap our minds around, but that's our God!  Our Father!  Our Hope!

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. -Romans 15:13
