Episode 286: Isaiah 7

Today's Prayer Meditation is on Isaiah 7

Father, you have always protected your people. When the kings of Judah and Aram marched against Jerusalem, they were unable to overpower it. 

Even though the hearts of Ahaz and his people were shaken as the trees of the forest in the wind, you were not worried about their plans. For you speak the end from the beginning. 

You told Isaiah to take his son, "A Remnant Shall Return" and meet with Ahaz, and to remain calm and unafraid. Those they viewed as dangerous enemies you saw as only two stubs of smoldering firewood, nothing to lose heart over.  

You released your Word, Father, saying It will not take place, it will not happen. But you also issued a warning, that if they did not stand firm in their faith, they wouldn't stand at all.

You invited Ahaz to ask for a sign, but he refused. But a sign was given anyway, that a virgin would conceive and give birth to a son and he would be called Immanuel -- God with us. 

The hope, not only of Israel, but of the whole earth. God came to live with us, in us. You are with me still. You have promised to be with me always, even to the end of the age. 

I remain calm and unafraid, Father, standing firm in my faith. I know that with you on my side, I cannot fail.

So be it. 

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
