Isaiah 9:6 - 6 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, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Everlasting - perpetuity, forever, continuing future, ancient (of past time), forever (of future time), of continuous existence for ever (of God's existence)
Take just two seconds and, if you’re married take your wedding band off, but WHATEVER YOU DO DON’T LOSE IT, PLEASE- This will also work with a coin or something circular. Now look at it and find the beginning of the ring, or circular object. I’ll wait… found it yet…. How about now… Well, if you tried the exercise you have not found the beginning, unless it is somehow marked. Now let your object represent God. Just as you were not able to find the beginning of your object so God has no beginning. He is everlasting. He always has been, ancient (of past time), He is, and He always will be, continuing future, forever (of future time). In other words He is, of continuous existence for ever (of God's existence). God is outside of time. He is not restricted by time. He is everlasting.
It is impossible for me to know everybody’s background and whether or not you had a loving protective father, or a father who was absent whether he was a work–a-holic or whether he simply left. I can however guarantee you that I know one thing beyond a shadow of a doubt, everyone, that is a Christian, has a Father who will never leave, will always love, care, protect, yes even discipline us. He always does what is right for us. He is NEVER selfish, instead the Bible says in Psalm 40:5 “Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.” WOW!! Go ahead read that one more time! That’s how often your Heavenly father thinks about you! Since He is everlasting He will ALWAYS think about you like this! This why Jesus came to the Earth, even before you or I were born Ephesians 1:4-5 – “4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,” Simply put, He had a plan way before the Earth was even created. He thought of you before He created the first atom or the first Adam. What a Savior! He is our everlasting Father. Now, That’s a Promise to Ponder!
This Promise is for those who are born again, if you do not know Christ as personal Lord and Savior. Claim the Promise that if you repent of your sins and place your Faith in Jesus to take you to Heaven and the Bible says He will save you!!(Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, Romans 10:9-10, Acts 16:31, John 3:16)
