Yesterday we considered the words “Peer Pressure” and today I’d like to take that one step further as we consider “Intimidation”. Like “peer pressure”, “intimidation” is seen on playgrounds, in offices, on the job site, in hospitals, in airplanes, in courtrooms, in governments and even in homes and sometimes churches.
I left you yesterday in a royal audience with Kings Jehoshaphat and Ahab, the kings of Israel’s northern & southern kingdoms in the year 854bc. The little known prophet of God named Micaiah was standing before the kings and their other advisors all of whom were awaiting Micaiah’s answer to a simple but very significant question King Ahab had asked: “Micaiah, shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead or not?”(2 Chronicles 18:14)
