Putting Fuel On The Fire

During the reign of King Ahaz in Judah, the kingdom faced threats from a coalition due to its refusal to join. God dispatched Isaiah to reassure Ahaz, offering him any sign to authenticate the divine prophecy (Isaiah 7:1-9). Ahaz declined, citing reluctance to test God, despite God's encouragement to ask (2 Kings 16:8). This decision reflected Ahaz's lack of desire for divine guidance. Often, excuses, such as not wanting to bother God, hinder our communication with Him. Isaiah 7:10-25 records Isaiah's reassurance to Ahaz of God's unwavering presence, promising Israel's destruction and offering a sign: a virgin-born son named Immanuel, who would distinguish good from evil in childhood (Isaiah 7:15).
