Listening to false prophets who will appease the itching ears really is a worthless effort. What good does it do us if we listen to and hear only what we want to hear and do not hear the truth?
Ahab wanted to win the battle against Syria and would not listen to the warning that God gave him through the prophet Micaiah. Ahab died during the battle as Micaiah had predicted. His people ended up scattered, like sheep without a shepherd, upon the battle field as they scurried back to their homes.
Tomorrow we begin a new book, 2 Kings, and we will see how Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, fares with the prophet Elijah. In the meantime, steer clear of those false gods and false prophets who would soothe your itching ears.
