"Let The Word Of CHRIST Dwell In You Richly"

The infallible umpire
(J.R. Miller)

The throne of Russia was once 

occupied by two boy princes. 

They sat side by side and gave 

their decisions on the gravest 

questions. Their judgments were 

so wise and just, that men marveled 

that princes so young and inexperienced, 

could know so much of statecraft, or 

speak with such discretion on 

questions so difficult. 

But the secret was that close 

behind the throne where they sat, 

hidden by a thin veil, was 

the Princess Sophia. 

She heard the cases which 

were brought to them, and she 

gave the decisions which they 

delivered. They referred every 

question to her, and waited 

until she had whispered 

to them the wise answer, 

which they gave out. 

In like manner, the Word 

of CHRIST should dwell richly 

in our heart. We are to refer every 

matter to the HOLY SPIRIT, and 

wait for HIS decision. 

Then what HE bids us to do--

we are to do. Thus CHRIST will 

rule every thought, every feeling 

and every affection. HE will settle 

every point of duty. HE will sit 

as the infallible umpire in all
questions of daily living--
of duty, of relationships,
of recreations, of business.

"I have better understanding 
and deeper insight than all my 
teachers, because YOUR 
testimonies are my meditation!" 
Psalm 119:99

"How can a young man keep 
his way pure? By living according 
to YOUR Word." Psalm 119:9

"Let the Word of CHRIST dwell 
in you richly, as you teach and 
admonish one another with all 
wisdom." Colossians 3:16
