In chapter 22 of 1 Kings, the kings of the northern and southern kingdoms are cooperating, miraculously, but they shop around until they find a preacher who will tell them what they want to hear. Of course, in those days, a preacher who didn't preach the right sermon to the king might have found himself floating upside down in the river. Rev. Micaiah resists peer pressure and gives the kings the bad news and no one is very happy about it except God who is glad that at least one person is listening to him. Do you find it difficult to hear God when God isn't saying what you want to hear? Yikes...
