—Isaiah 7:10-17
by: Patrick London.
How many times in our lives as Christians can we say that we have acted like Ahaz? Sometimes we find ourselves at a low point where we need God, but we never cry out nor call on him in prayer. God is looking down, waiting patiently, saying, "Ask me, and I will help you." Ahaz was invited to ask God for a sign-he thought this was going too far as he would be tempting God. Ahaz and his people still needed to be reassured. Isaiah told him God's sign, "A virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel" (v. 14). God is never weary of us! He is powerful and full of grace and mercy. Let us trust in him.
