Faith in God is True Security -
Judah and Isreal tended to depend on themselves for security. Isaiah's words called for something much more secure. Isaiah 7 illustrates the need for trust in God. Ahaz, the newly installed king of Judah, was threatened by the combined armies of Syria and Isreal . God through Isaiah counseled faith. Ahaz, however refused to trust God, choosing instead to trust the power of Assyria. As a result of Ahaz's lack of faith, Assyrian influence entered Jerusalem. Rather than enjoying the blessings of obedience to God, the nation suffered the consequences of refusing to trust God. The opposing choices of trusting God or trusting other nations occur throughout the book of Isaiah. True security and safety does not lie in military armaments non alliances with other nations. Faith in the Sovereign Lord of history provides the ONLY TRUE SECURITY ( 7:9, 8:16; 30:15) directly from the bible dictionary
This was a powerful lesson to those that continue to pose themselves as helpers and security - when in fact they simply destroy trust and strip us of our own humanity by the using our own technology against us.
There is a fierce storm coming to the earth - GOD IS FULL OF FURY - I hope for your sake - you KNOW HIS SON JESUS CHRIST- if not - it is easy - JUST ASK HIM INTO YOUR HEART TODAY - INVITE HIM INTO YOUR LIFE!!
he will not only forgive you - but if you become a faithful student of his ways - he will promote you into his eternal KINGDOM - come rule with us today!
peace
