S – And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. 

Isaiah 11:2 CSB

O – Commentary:

In these verses the character and work of the “Branch” are described. The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him, that is, the Holy Spirit would empower Him (at Jesus’ baptism, Matt. 3:16–17) for His work which would be characterized by wisdom … understanding … counsel … power … knowledge, and the fear of the Lord. The attributes of the Holy Spirit would characterize the Messiah. Because of His wisdom, understanding, counsel, and knowledge He is the Wonderful Counselor (Isa. 9:6). Isaiah referred to the Holy Spirit more than did any other Old Testament prophet

A – Jesus was filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit.  These are the seven attributes that Isaiah gave the Holy Spirit – His presence, wisdom, understanding, counsel, might (courage), knowledge and fear of the Lord.  We can have all of those attributes daily.  I encourage all of us to invite the Holy Spirit into our lives daily and ask him to manifest all these attributes as we go through our day.

R – Heavenly Father, you are Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  We invite your Holy Spirit into our day.  We ask for the same manifestations as Jesus did – we ask for the Spirit of wisdom, the Spirit of understanding, the Spirit of Counsel, Spirit of might and courage, the Spirit of knowledge and the Spirit of the fear of the Lord.  Thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit.
