The book of Isaiah, the primary writing prophet of the OT apart from Moses, is comprised of several prophetic utterances made by the over his prophetic career. One of these prophecies that Isaiah delivered was to Israelite king, Ahaz. While I do not normally like to abstract individual verses from their literary context, there is a single verse in this prophecy that applies across contexts:
"If you are not firm in faith, you will not be firm at all." (Isaiah 7:9b)
This verse says it all. It is a good reminder that firmness in life has nothing to do with intellect, conviction, emotional strength, physical prowess, or anything else; firmness and solidarity comes down to faith for it is in God that the firmest foundation is found. Amen to Him and let us always rest upon the sure footing and rock which is Christ!
