By Bill Glib

Considering the fact that this
America of ours is rather indivi-
dualistic and that its citizens are
more or less tolerant of each other.
I sometimes find it amazing to
hear one religious group citicizing
another.
There are churches which pre-
fer to recognize Saturday as the
Sabbath; others, Sunday. Heated
debates and i'll feelings quite Of
ten develop from this situation
when the participants would be do
ing much better if they concentrat-
ed their efforts on learning a little
more about their own chosen reli-
gion.
I carry a card around in my
wallet with the following medita-
ton printed upon it:
"God Grant Me The Serenity To
Accept The Things I Cannot
Change,
Courage To Change The Things
I CAM "a
And Wisdom To Know The Diff
ference"
That little card has saved me
many a headache. (Literally and
figuratively). Likewise, I've butted
my head against stone wall many
a time by failing to sincerely put
the prayer to use. Why don't you
try it out and see what effect it
has on your daily life?

Here is another meditation that
keep on my desk at home. We've
printed this before but repetition

Mieaiah withsfands false pr

MicaIan WifhSfands false pro.
phefs. . Kings 22:I.40
A yes man tickles the ego of
an inflated egoist. A dictator or an
army officer or administrator who
surrounds himself with yes men
is doomed to destruction. Ahab had
been accustomed to having his own
way and so found more comfort in
the council of false prophets than
in the dire warning of the true pro-
phets of Jehovah. Micaiah was a
true prophet and so Ahab hated
him.
Divine Guidance
Since the dividing of the king
dom, Judah and Israel had not
been on especially friendly terms.
However during the reign of Ahab
in the northern kingdom he deve.
Hoped a case of fear and felt that
Syria might try to overcome Is
rael. He therefore sought an alli-
ance with Judah and Jehosphaphat
was slightly skeptical. He asked
that Ahab consult the prophets.
These were probably prophets of
Jehovah since Zedekiah begins his
speech with "Thus saith Jehovah. I"
These prophets under Ahab were
false prophets since they sought to
please the King, not Jehovah.
The fact that JehoShaphat asked
that Ahab seek the counsel of a
true prophet of Jehovah indica.. IS
that the King of the southern king
dom was skeptical of the reliabi-
lily of the state prophets Too Of
ten religion falling under the con-
troll of the state, or dictator, whe-
Their it be in England, the United
States or Russia, there is grave
danger that its leadership will be
biased. Ahab wanted to follow the
council of the prophets he could
trust, those obligated to him, the
'yes-men.' He really did not want
the truth, he wanted some assur-
ance that his own selfish ambitions
would have divine blessings and so
was willing to take the counsel of
his own false prophets, the calf
worshippers.
Truth Not Welcome
When pushed for further inves-
tigation of the will of Jehobah,
Ahab agreed that there is yet one
prophet of whom they might en-
quire, Micaiah the son of Imlah.
When the true prophet was ap-
preached he bluntly said, what
Jehovah saith unto me that will ]
speak" 1t is the truth that hurts.
While it is true that the 400 yes
men representing Jehovah went
along with Ahab in what he want
ed to do, there was one bold souls
who counseled caution. Perhaps
the ratio is much the same today.
1t is so easy to 60 along with
powerful interests diSregarding
what one knows is right. This gen.
GRAFTON of appeasement and com.
promise should note carefully the
actions of those who have chang
ed the thinking and actions of men
| for the better. Martin Luther, that
gallant monk in history was stand
ing alone before the Diet of Worms
where he dared defy a corrupt
church. When Luther was asked
what he would do if the Emperor
decided to put him to death, he
replied, I would be fright where
am now. In the hands of AL
mighty God"
The truth was not welcome in
Ahab's day, nor was it welcome
in the time of Jesus Christ. Under
the leadership of the High Priest,
the Sanhedrin took action against
Jesus. Following the mock trial the
rabble, the 400 'yes-men' joined the
mob in screaming and shouting
"crucify him." There was one
