Fear of Man vs. Fear of God
Commentators like Spurgeon and Calvin explain that King Ahaz's crippling fear of his enemies was a direct result of his lack of fear and trust in God. Having made God their enemy, the king and his people had no foundation to stand on when threatened. This serves as a powerful reminder that a right relationship with God is the only true antidote to being overwhelmed by worldly fears.
