Learning to Trust
Isaiah 7:1-10:4
(Bible Reading 7:1-17)
The shape of these chapters:
- 7:1-25 Isaiah speaks with King Ahaz
- 8:1-9:7 Reflects on 7:1-25
- 9:8-10:4 Describes the end of the Northern Kingdom
Look more closely at 7:1-25
- Ahaz is in a messy situation (7:1-2 cf 2 Kings 16)
- Isaiah tells Ahaz what God would have him do (7:3-9)
- Ahaz refuses listen (7:10-12 cf 6:9-13)
- Isaiah continues speaking – in signs (7:13-25)
Look a little more closely (v13-16 in particular)
Now stand back and look accross 7:1-10:4 again
What can we learn, from Isaiah, about living for God in our own real-life (often ‘messy’) situations?
