The Lord is on my side;I will not fear: what can man do unto me? Psalm 118:6
King Ahab surrounded himself with false prophets who prophesied lies unto him. He knew they were not telling him the truth but he could not send them away because they told him what he wanted to hear. But there was one man who refused to follow the majority. He was a true prophet of God who did not care about fame or position. Micaiah was not afraid to stand alone and declare what God had reveled to him, and he was not unaware of the implication of his actions. It could cost him his life. He made a choice to obey God in spite of the risks involved. Everyday of our life we are faced with choices. Temptations are all around us. Whether or not to yield to such temptations is a personal choice which each person has to make. When there is a choice between truth and falsehood,God expects us to follow the path of truth. Although certain choices we make can expose us to danger,we should however not be deterred by apparent inconveniences and discomfort we may suffer for standing for what is right even if it means standing alone.
