28Then another message from the lord came to Elijah: 29“Do you see how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has done this, I will not do what I promised during his lifetime. It will happen to his sons; I will destroy his dynasty.”
6So the king of Israel summoned the prophets, about 400 of them, and asked them, “Should I go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should I hold back?”
They all replied, “Yes, go right ahead! The Lord will give the king victory.”
7But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there not also a prophet of the lord here? We should ask him the same question.”
Meanwhile, the messenger who went to get Micaiah said to him, “Look, all the prophets are promising victory for the king. Be sure that you agree with them and promise success.”
14But Micaiah replied, “As surely as the lord lives, I will say only what the lord tells me to say.”
An Aramean soldier, however, randomly shot an arrow at the Israelite troops and hit the king of Israel between the joints of his armor.
The deck is stacked against the Lord most of the time yet the Lord wins, so why is it so hard to serve the Lord without question. I know my baldness comes from the Lord yet I am fearful to use it. It makes no sense.
Lord God,
Place in me a desire to not only hear your quiet voice in this loud world but to boldly act on it with out questioning you. Quiet to influence of satan that holds me back.
