Lessons From The KingsSample

Be That Voice

And Micah said. “As the Lord lives, whatever the Lord says to me, that I will speak.” 1 Kings 22: 14

A little background to this verse - King Ahab and King Jehoshaphat are in alliance to fight against the King of Syria. King Ahab seeks the counsel of 400 prophets, who speak favorably, and encourage the Kings to go to war. There is one Prophet of God, Micah - the only true prophet, who prophesies otherwise and predicts destruction for King Ahab. Guess who Ahab and Jehoshaphat listened to? The majority, and the end, as predicted, was death and destruction.

We live in a time where it’s becoming more and more difficult to hear and obey the voice of the Lord. The voices in the world are so loud, and very often, in total contradiction to God, and His word. It’s so much easier to compromise and blend in with the crowd, than to take a stand, and be that lone voice. There’s an old saying that says, “Only dead fish go with the flow.”

In John 10: 27 Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”

If we want to be that voice for the Lord, then we need to tune in to Listen to His Voice and Obey it, no matter what.
