"Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz: Ask for a sign from the LORD, your God; let it be deep as Sheol, or high as the sky! But Ahaz answered, "I will not ask! I will not tempt the LORD!" Then he said: Listen, house of David! Is it not enough that you weary human beings? Must you also weary my God? Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign; the young woman, pregnant and about to bear a son, shall name him Emmanuel. Isaiah 7:10-14
Isaiah 7:10-25. A Sign. The family tree, we would think that Jesus's family tree would be perfect but it isn't. King Ahaz, does not believe in God, Isaiah was sent to give him a sign, one that Ahaz could proclaim himself but his unbelief was greater and Isaiah has to proclaim the sign, the birth announcement of the Son of God, the one that set everything in motion. "To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith no explanation is possible." St Thomas Aquinas. God makes every effort to reach us, He gives us signs of His existence, we have free will to chose, denying His existence does not make Him go away, it just condemns you to an eternity where you will come to know that He is real. Ahaz found this out
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b

What is God saying to me: I do exist, I Am with you.
Dear Father, help our unbelief, give us the gift of eternity with You. Sides are being drawn up, and people will choose to believe or not believe. In the end Your reality will reveal itself to those who ignore the truth. My prayer is that all come to know You, love You and to serve You. I may not understand all that is in the Bible but I know who created me and I know who's image I Am made in. Prayers for this day and what it has to offer, use me where I am needed. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
