Doing
Business with God
In Isaiah 7 God wants to do business with King Ahaz to
save the nation from becoming captives to the Assyrian Army and to save their
land from desolation. King Ahaz, however, does not want to do business with
God. He wants to do things his way. He feels he can rely on the support of the
Syrian King to help him out of this mess. But God uses the treacherous King of
Syria to punish King Ahaz for wanting to do things his way. In other words, He
let King Ahaz do things his way, but it backfired on him in that the Syrian
King made them his slaves.
Even today, we struggle between doing business with God
and doing business with man. Psalms 118:8 “It is better to trust the Lord than
to put confidence in man.” Things will always backfire on us or come to
destruction when we do things our way instead of God’s way. Every thought we
have, every decision we make, every move we make should be consulted with God
before it happens. He will direct our path, make our decisions for us and all
will come out good for those of us who Love the Lord and trust Him.
Our paths are made straight when we look to Him for
direction and guidance.
