Isaiah 5-7, 2 Corinthians 7, Psalm 135: 1-12
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 is one of the most famous prophecies
in the Bible regarding the birth of Jesus Christ. Isaiah was a prophet during
the time of King Ahaz, who was the King of Judah. Ahaz was known for his lack
of faith and reliance on alliances with foreign kings, instead of trusting
fully in the promises of Father-God. But Father-God gave to Isaiah a prophecy
for Ahaz of his commitment to the house of David and the covenant he made with Abraham
and his descendants. Father-God’s promises to his people are not dependent upon
their faithfulness to him. Father-God promises through the birth of Jesus
Christ, that God’s presence will always be with us. Even when we are in times
of trouble and doubt like Ahaz, Father-God promises that he will always with
us. Isaiah reminds us we need to trust in Father-God’s promises and his timing.
I love finding the prophecies of the birth of Jesus Christ
in the Old Testament, because it tells me that Father-God has a plan for all of
us long before we are born. He has a plan and purpose for all his people, and
we can trust that Father-God in his timing even when everything around us seems
to be in a dire situation.
If you enjoyed reading my thoughts on this Bible verse and
you want to trust that Father-God has a plan for you and the world through your faith in Jesus Christ, please
pray this prayer out loud:
Heavenly Father, I want to give you my Life. Forgive me of
all of my sins. Wash me in your blood. I believe in my heart You raised Jesus
from the dead. I confess with my mouth Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now,
I receive forgiveness by the blood of Jesus. I am saved, I am forgiven, I am
clean, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of
Father-God! Do yourself a favor and find and join a Holy Spirit filled, full
Gospel, Bible-based church where you can hear the words of Father-God preached
and experience signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
