And the messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him, "Behold, the words of the prophets with one accord are favorable to the king. Let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak favorably." But Micaiah said, "As the Lord lives, what my God says, that I will speak.” 2 Chronicles 18:12-13 (ESV) We have choices regarding to whom we listen. We often choose the voices we understand and agree with, even if those voices disagree with God. Submission starts first and foremost with God. When God speaks, He means something by His speech, which is usually much more straightforward than we make it out to be. He does not ask us to do anything we cannot do, and does not use us, but loves us. On the other hand, we often manipulate and use one another to gain position, power, and prestige. God already has position, power, and prestige, and does not attempt to gain more. We can be skeptical of men's words, but God cannot lie, and ultimately, it is His word we need to seek and obey. |
