ISAIAH 7:14
We live in troubled times. Scientists and politicians are trying to sound positive, but no one truly knows what tomorrow will bring. What we face could not be decoded by our so called ‘advanced technologies’ until it came upon us. We only pray and hope it gets better, even in the midst of our confusions from all sorts of news (true and false).
See how the Lord responded at a time of confusion in the days of King Ahaz – He asked Isaiah to tell him to stop worrying because he had nothing to fear – Isaiah 7: 7. Then He gave the King a sign to confirm His word – Isaiah 7:14 (God with us – Immanuel).
While we are prone to worry, let us try not to. When we are tempted to be afraid, let us remember the promise: Jesus is Immanuel – God with us! He is our hope in the midst of troubled waters. Because He is with us, all the enemy plans will fail. With His presence, we are never alone.
Let us refuse to worry or be afraid, because Immanuel is here.
