Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) Micaiah: Speaking Truth to Power1 Kings 22:1-6
The Message22 1-3 They enjoyed three years of peace—no fighting between Aram and Israel. In the third year, Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, had a meeting with the king of Israel. Israel’s king remarked to his aides, “Do you realize that Ramoth Gilead belongs to us, and we’re sitting around on our hands instead of taking it back from the king of Aram?” 4-5 He turned to Jehoshaphat and said, “Will you join me in fighting for Ramoth Gilead?” Jehoshaphat said, “You bet. I’m with you all the way—my troops are your troops, my horses are your horses.” He then continued, “But before you do anything, ask God for guidance.” 6 The king of Israel got the prophets together—all four hundred of them—and put the question to them: “Should I attack Ramoth Gilead? Or should I hold back?” “Go for it,” they said. “God will hand it over to the king.” For ReflectionIsn't it odd that all four hundred prophets agreed en-mass with the king of Israel? Jehoshaphat thought so. Apparently, none of the prophets were willing to bring a challenge to the idea. Where these true prophets of the Lord or were they prophets-in-name-only (PINOs)? PrayPray so that you will find the wisdom that Jehoshaphat displayed when confronted by weak prophets. Pray so that you will be able to discern false from true prophecies.
