The Lord himself, therefore, will give you a sign.
If we are truly sincere about seeking the Lord’s will in our life, He does show us where we should go. Sometimes a process of discernment is required and Saint Ignatius of Loyola has given us some excellent ways to do this, that is, to be able to see the signs God has shared with us so we know what to do.
King Ahaz, on the other hand, refused to ask for a sign for he was afraid of what would be revealed for fear of what he would have to do. Isaiah saw right through his lack of sincerity, his unwillingness to follow God’s ways wholeheartedly.
Thus we need to purify our intent before we can begin to seek for God’s signs in our life so that we can walk according to His personal plan for each one of us. Dear Father, please purify the desires of my heart so that I will seek only Your will and glory, and in so doing, will always follow the signs that You give me.
