[2981.96 --> 2983.52] to the significant.
[2987.10 --> 2988.42] Paying too much attention
[2988.42 --> 2989.20] to the passing
[2989.20 --> 2991.28] and paying too little attention
[2991.28 --> 2992.92] to the significant.
[2994.38 --> 2996.52] If all you ever focus on
[2996.52 --> 2998.74] is that thing right in front of you,
[2998.74 --> 3001.18] you might miss the important thing
[3001.18 --> 3002.74] going on around you.
[3005.22 --> 3006.08] Ahaz's choice
[3006.08 --> 3007.64] between trusting God
[3007.64 --> 3009.56] or trusting himself
[3009.56 --> 3011.74] has impacts down the line
[3011.74 --> 3012.52] for his life
[3012.52 --> 3013.64] and for his rule.
[3014.40 --> 3015.98] And unless he gets to a point
[3015.98 --> 3016.94] where he can trust
[3016.94 --> 3018.20] in a sovereign God
[3018.20 --> 3019.06] who is good,
[3019.38 --> 3021.16] unless he can give himself up
[3021.16 --> 3022.26] to God's rule
[3022.26 --> 3023.42] and reign in his life,
[3023.86 --> 3024.92] he will continue
[3024.92 --> 3026.10] to be stuck
[3026.10 --> 3027.36] in this loop
[3027.36 --> 3028.26] of panic,
[3028.72 --> 3029.08] fear,
[3029.38 --> 3029.90] poor decision,
[3030.28 --> 3030.72] consequence.
[3031.42 --> 3031.92] Panic,
[3032.28 --> 3032.60] fear,
[3032.94 --> 3033.40] poor decision,
[3033.72 --> 3034.14] consequence.
[3034.14 --> 3039.06] It's a loop,
[3039.12 --> 3039.76] I can keep going.
[3042.68 --> 3043.02] Right?
[3043.06 --> 3044.38] It's only entrusting
[3044.38 --> 3046.32] in the real present
[3046.32 --> 3048.26] and really present
[3048.26 --> 3049.90] ultimate truthfulness
[3049.90 --> 3051.26] and ultimate truth
[3051.26 --> 3052.28] of God.
[3052.52 --> 3054.42] Is there any real security
[3054.42 --> 3055.66] for him
[3055.66 --> 3057.46] in this present life?
[3057.62 --> 3059.66] The only trusting in God
[3059.66 --> 3061.14] breaks that loop.
[3062.60 --> 3063.80] And so Isaiah comes
[3063.80 --> 3066.18] and issues a challenge
[3066.18 --> 3067.14] to Ahaz.
[3067.52 --> 3068.40] He comes
[3068.40 --> 3069.02] and he says
[3069.02 --> 3070.06] to ask God
[3070.06 --> 3070.82] for a sign.
[3070.94 --> 3072.16] Let's look at Isaiah 10
[3072.16 --> 3073.28] together.
[3075.44 --> 3076.00] Again,
[3076.20 --> 3077.24] the Lord spoke
[3077.24 --> 3078.22] to Ahaz.
[3080.60 --> 3081.74] Ask the Lord
[3081.74 --> 3082.28] your God
[3082.28 --> 3083.02] for a sign,
[3083.66 --> 3085.32] whether in the deepest depths
[3085.32 --> 3087.38] or in the highest heights.
[3088.80 --> 3090.26] Ask him for anything
[3090.26 --> 3091.96] is what Isaiah is saying.
[3092.10 --> 3093.08] Ask for a sign
[3093.08 --> 3093.90] to prove
[3093.90 --> 3095.24] that your decision
[3095.24 --> 3096.64] was a good one.
[3097.96 --> 3098.84] But Ahaz
[3098.84 --> 3099.66] doesn't want
[3099.66 --> 3100.40] to be found out.
[3101.74 --> 3102.26] Or,
[3102.46 --> 3103.84] maybe at this point,
[3104.40 --> 3105.22] he's choosing
[3105.22 --> 3107.08] willful ignorance.
[3108.30 --> 3108.88] Do you know
[3108.88 --> 3109.54] what I mean by that?
[3110.54 --> 3110.80] Right?
[3110.88 --> 3112.38] He's committed himself
[3112.38 --> 3113.24] to this course
[3113.24 --> 3113.90] of action
[3113.90 --> 3115.14] and he refuses
[3115.14 --> 3116.30] to be dissuaded
[3116.30 --> 3117.64] because that would mean
[3117.64 --> 3118.80] admitting a mistake
[3118.80 --> 3119.62] or admitting
[3119.62 --> 3120.58] that he did something
[3120.58 --> 3121.20] wrong
[3121.20 --> 3122.34] or said something wrong.
[3122.52 --> 3122.78] Right?
[3122.82 --> 3123.60] You've never done that.
[3124.34 --> 3125.26] You've never stuck
[3125.26 --> 3126.10] to a story
[3126.10 --> 3127.06] because you've already
[3127.06 --> 3128.44] argued for 10 minutes straight
[3128.44 --> 3129.14] even though
[3129.14 --> 3129.96] eight minutes ago
[3129.96 --> 3130.78] in your heart of hearts
