“Trusting God”
                                                    Isaiah 7:1-9

         Three Keys to Trusting God:

1.            Identity: We belong to God.

·        Ahaz had been defeated by Aram and Ephraim earlier: 2 Chron 28:5-8

·        There would be a remnant: Isaiah 1:9

·        Remember, “The stump in the land.” Isaiah 6:13

 

2.              Fear Not

 

·        As all this is going on Ahaz is seeking an alliance with Assyria:  2 Kings 16:7-9

·        Because of being over-run by the Assyrians, they intermarried and thus became the             Samaritans, losing their nationalistic identity: 2 Kings 17:24

 

3.               Stand Firm

 

·        This is the point of no return; to fail to respond now by trusting the lord’s promises is              to bring about the final heart-hardening: Isaiah 6:9-10

·        The choice is panic and live on shaky ground or build on God’s word:  Isaiah 7:2

·        What is the foundation of your life:  Mt. 7:24-27

·        Stand Firm:  Proverbs 10:25

·        This alliance with Assyria was destructive: 2 Chron 28:22-23
