offer us. Such a character is found In Micaiah. about whom we learn In 1 Kings 22:1-40. Ahab, king of Is reel. planned an es pedltioo to recover the city of Ramoth in Gilead, which tire Syrians had taken He Invited Jehosha ph at, king of Judah to Join him Ahab relied upon his court

Dr. IVewlr*

prophets to predict victory; but Micaiah, the prophet of God, whom Ahab had chut up in prison, when he was summoned, at the insistence of Jehoshaphat, told Ahab the truth —the unpleasant truth—which subsequent events verified • • • BRAVE ENOUGH TO TELL THE TRUTH THE first blessing In the study of this obscure Bible charscter. Micaiah, is to discover a man who was brave enough to tell the truth when he knew It was unpopular. ft Is always the best policy to tell the truth, though there be many In today's world who deny this principle. ft Is not enough to say that we will tell the truth because It pays. That is true, but It as a byproduct of doing what is right One must tell the truth because it is right to tell the truth. Men swear with their hsnd upon the Holy Bible that what they testify is the truth and nothing but the truth. But. alas, such men often tell anything but the truth. They have been carefully coached to evade the truth. Micaiah told the truth, because he was speaking for God. It hurt him. but it must needs be the truth he spoke to Ahab. • • • TRUTH DISREGARDED Ahab scorned the words of Micaiah. and ordered him thrown back into prison. But sesreely had the prophet of God been thrust sgain into prison, until Ahab was bleeding to death In his chariot Men not only take their own lives In their hands wber. they disregard the truth, but like stubborn Ahab, they bring grief to countless others Had Ahab heeded the words of truth which Micaiah proclaimed. Ahab might have lived Indeed, had Ahab heeded the words of truth, he migh’ have recovered Ramoth. and more- beside Truth may appear forever on the acaffold. wrong forever on the throne, but time always proves s hard taskmaster to the mon who regards wrong instead of truth. o o o THE SOURCE OF TRUTH GOO is the source of truth—ell truth. If we miss this we miss the lesson of the lesson Note the words of the golden test, "As the Lord llveth. whet the Lord sslth unto me. thot will ! apeak," sold t Micaiah. Let us remember that It was God speaking through Me prophet Ahab could not have doubted that Micaiah was speaking what Ged had told him to speak But Ahab did not want to hear the truth He wanted to bear pleasing words that would encourage him in his evil plan God apeaks the first and the last word on every subject because Gori la truth. “1 am the truth." said Jesus. And he went on to ssy. "Ye shell know the truth, end ths truth Chai! moke you free" • • • THE FCNALTT OF PKOBEYfNG THE TRUTH HORRIBLE indeed was the pen slty which Ahab suffered for disregarding the truth The way ot the transgressor is hard—always hem The wages of sin is death Be sure your sine will flirt you out * Take down your cherished books of history What do they say Io y«u’ That the straight line of truth la the only safe way in which tr walk It is applicable for the tn dividual, for the family for the community for the naUon for civfli tatbn Thus every great prayer must be •Thy wlB be done ."
