Isaiah 7

In the midst of fear and turmoil God sent a message to the king of Judah; I will deliver you. Then God permitted Ahaz the priveledge of requesting a sign from God. But this king did not respond in humility like Gideon. He boasted that he would not put God to a test? But that was not what God had in mind. The question in Ahaz's mind was not about God's ability to deliver, but rather his timing. Gos sought to reassure the king that God's timing is always perfect.
It took me a little over 5 minutes to read this chapter.
