Isaiah 7:1-9
When: Ahaz son of Hotham, the son of Uzziah, was king of Judah.
King Rezin of rm and Pekah son of Remaiah king of Israel marched up to fight against Jerusalem, but they could not overpower it.
The hearts of Ahaz and his people were shaken, as the trees of the forest are shaken by the wind.
The Lord said to Isaiah "Go out, you and your son Shear-Jashub, to meet Ahaz at the end of the aqueduct of the Uppor Pool to the Say to him..." Do not lost heart because of these two smoldering stubs of firewood, their plot will not take place, it will not happen. If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all."
Why?
Ahaz defied God, and in consequence his kingdom came under attack from all quarters. When he refused to join the Israel/Syria alliance against Assyria, they attacked Judah. It is at this point that Isaiah goes to him with God's message.
Shear-Jashub, name mean's remnant shall return. Both Isaiah's sons stood as a constant reminder of his teaching.
The Lord plans to keep the house of David.
Under such situation, the heart is shaken like trees are shaken by the wind. But for the love of God, we need to stand firm in our faith. Then I will know that He is the Lord.
How?
I don't know what is the way and how my income will be after I return to Taiwan, but stand firm with my faith, don't be afraid and lose my heart, my God is a living God, He will save me and gives me a new way.
