If we persist in rejecting God how will he respond? I think the final chapter of Ahab’s life answers that question. God had been patient with Ahab and had rescued him a number of times. But Ahab continue to focus on what Ahab wanted and not what the LORD desired. The time came and God chose Ramoth-gilead as the place where Ahab would die. God used a random arrow to bring down the arrogant king. The prophet Micaiah had the difficult job of presenting the news to a king who was in constant rebellion against God. I wonder what happened to Micaiah? How long did he linger under the hand of Amon and Joash before he was released or killed? Ahaziah probably didn’t spare the one who proclaimed his father’s death. But Micaiah was steadfast and fearless in his passion to speak the word of truth from God.
It took me about 8 minutes to read this chapter.
