Stand firm in faith

I was doing my homework for the bible study that we are doing on Mondays. We are using a study guide "Turn Toward Promise: The Prophets and Spiritual Renewal," by John Indermark. For today the scripture came from Isaiah 7:1-17. This was at a time that Judea was being threatened by the Northern kingdom, Israel and Syria. King Ahaz was caught with what was he going to do with this threat. Was Ahaz going to trust in God or form an alliance with the Assyrians? Isaiah came to try to convince him to trust God and not seek some military or political solution to the problem. Unfortunately, Ahaz form an alliance with Assyria which came back and subjugated the Southern kingdom.
The scripture that we are focusing on was Isaiah 7:13, "Is it too little for you to weary mortals, that you weary my God also?"
The focus is what would ever weary God. The entire scripture would say to "live as though God makes no difference. Refuse to trust God in times of risk. Let fear dictate your choices." Isaiah tells Ahaz that there is an answer to this by standing firm in faith, remaining calm, do not let fear dictate and do not lose heart. When we allow ourselves to not care or listen to God, to allow fear to be our main concern, to lose heart and not remain faithful, it is then we weary God. Thankfully in this chapter and in these verses, Isaiah speaks of a young woman who will give birth to a son named Immanuel. Hope for us Christians lies in Jesus.
Indermark points out some questions to reflect on based on these scriptures. For we too face the same decisions that Ahaz faced in our lives. To what will we depend on. The questions are: What do you need to heed in your life, Where do you need quieting or calming, What fears do you need to release, What makes you faint of heart, and Where do you need to stand firm?
In today's culture and economical crisis, do we live by faith or by fear?
Here is the prayer that followed the daily study, "Forgive me, O God, when I have wearied you--by lack of trust, by emptiness of love. Renew me. Strengthen me. Encourage me. For I would trust, and I would love, in you. Amen."
