“If you are not firm in faith, you will not be firm at all” (Isaiah 7:9b).

 

Perplexed and helpless, the king of Judah feared the worst. Several nations gathered their forces to defeat Judah, and the end seemed to be near. 

Fear and dread seemed to be the only option, but God sent the prophet Isaiah with a word of faith, warning, and rebuke. The words were clear: ‘’If you are not firm in faith, you will not be firm at all.’’ 

God already had a plan for the nations gearing up to war against Judah. God will work out his plan in spite of what the king of Judah thought or feared. The only thing that God desired of him was to stay firm in faith. Because if you are not firm in faith, you will not be firm at all. 

The only thing worth holding on to is faith in God who is able to act. Even before we ask, He already has a plan to handle the difficulties before us. For Judah’s problem, God’s solution was sixty-five years later. But that was the best solution in God’s eyes. 

Our side of the deal is that we remain in faith, trusting God to act. He will. He has done it before. Don’t fret because ‘‘If you are not firm in faith, you will not be firm at all.’’
