Isa 7:3 | MHM | STEP | v. 3 : God told Isaiah to go and meet Ahaz, even though Ahaz did not ask for God’s help. God sometimes gives comfort even to those who do not seek him. Isaiah was to take his son, Shear-jashub, whose name means “A remnant shall return,” as a sign of hope. This showed that even if trouble came, God would bring some people back and save a remnant (Isaiah 8:18; 2 Chronicles 28:15 ). Isaiah was to meet Ahaz at the end of the aqueduct, where the king was probably planning how to protect the city’s water supply. Ahaz was worried about how to defend Jerusalem. God sent Isaiah to speak to him exactly when he was most afraid, showing that God’s help comes right when we need it (Isaiah 22:9-11; 2 Chronicles 32:3-4 ).
