What is faith? Faith is trust , trust in the Lord.
King Ahaz lost his trust in the Lord. When the Lord himself asked Ahaz to ask for a sign , and make it as difficult as he wanted, Ahaz even did not have a slight sense of faith and refused to do so.
But God gave his own sign, a child born by a virgin. It is a sign given by the Lord himself, as difficult as you could imagine.
Do you believe it? Do you trust the Lord?
Blessings.
Bible verses,
Later, the Lord sent this message to King Ahaz: “Ask the Lord your God for a sign of confirmation, Ahaz. Make it as difficult as you want—as high as heaven or as deep as the place of the dead. ”
But the king refused. “No,” he said, “I will not test the Lord like that.”
Then Isaiah said, “Listen well, you royal family of David! Isn’t it enough to exhaust human patience? Must you exhaust the patience of my God as well? All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’). By the time this child is old enough to choose what is right and reject what is wrong, he will be eating yogurt and honey. For before the child is that old, the lands of the two kings you fear so much will both be deserted.Then the Lord will bring things on you, your nation, and your family unlike anything since Israel broke away from Judah. He will bring the king of Assyria upon you!” Isaiah 7:10-17 NLT
