Isaiah 5-7, 2 Corinthians 7, Psalm 126
Isaiah 7: 14 (ESV)
“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold,
the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”
Verse 14 from Isaiah 7 give us one of the most famous prophecies
of the coming of Christ in the Old Testament. I love these prophecies of the
birth of Christ in the Old Testament. It shows to me that God has a plan that
sees far into the future what will be needed to save his people and save every one
of us who has faith in Christ. I love signs. I know that we are not supposed to
test God and look for signs, but I love signs. I always look for signs in my
life of God’s guidance to me. They are almost all of the time small signs, but occasionally
I will get a bigger sign. But to find the signs, I must always follow the
guidance of the Holy Spirit.
I have been doing intercessory prayers, and I’ve always
wondered if I have been doing them correctly and prayed to God to give me guidance.
I was invited to go to an event at my church this week, and while it wasn’t something
that interested me the Holy Spirit told me to attend the event. When I went to
the event, I found out that they are going to be studying a book on intercessory
prayer. Was it a coincidence? Not for me. God heard my prayer, and I discovered
inadvertently a book on intercessory prayer. Had I not followed the Holy Spirit’s
guidance, I would never have found the book. God send me a sign and an answer to
my prayer!
