“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
