Thy Word Is Truth The Word is the light that shines into the windows of our souls. Without the Word we are shut up in prison houses of doubt and speculation. Even the great Grecian philos- ophers, who, though apart from Revelation, advanced far in their quest for truth, were yet unable finally to pierce the somber walls surrounding them. In that last discussion on immortality that Socrates held with his friends before he took the hemlock, one of the inner circle, Simmias, stated that absolute truth might be impossible to find. He then advised that if this were the case, each man should simply “take the best and most irrefra- gable of human notions, and let this be the raft upon which to sail through life—not with- out risk, as I admit, if he cannot find some word of God.” We have this “word of God.” It is ours. When I was only a lad in Christ, I wrote one day with astonishment and awe on the Hyleaf of my Bible, “How wonderful it is that we can hold in our hands and on our laps the very Word of God!” The Word is the anchor of the soul amid the surging tides of this latter age. Many ships of faith and creed that once carried great cargoes of religious commerce have cut loose from the anchor of revelation, and now drift to and fro in the night, prey to every new wind of social doctrine and “scientific” dictum. The Word is the “sword of the Lord, and of Gideon” in assaulting the strongholds of Satan. It seems a very feeble instrument, but it is mightier than all the armies of Russia and all the atomic weapons of the United States. They shall pass away. It shall endure. “For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.” The Word is the mirror of the human heart. The proud shrink from the image it sets forth. The righteous rejoice to see themselves depicted in the garments of righteous- ness. The Word is the compass of the conscience. True as the needle to the pole, the Word points the conscience to the will of God, and unlike natural compasses, no allow- ance for declination need be made for varying latitudes and longitudes. Its pattern for human conduct is universal. The Word is the staff of the pilgrim as he faces the last dark valley and looks beyond to the city of his eternal sojourn. Let us allow Van Dyke to say it for us: “No man is poor or desolate who has this treasure for his own. When the landscape darkens and the trembling pilgrim comes to the Valley named of the Shadow, he is not afraid to enter: he takes the rod and staff of Scripture in his hand; he says to friend and comrade: ‘Good-by, we shall meet again’; and comforted by that support, he goes toward the lonely pass as one who walks through darkness into light.” —Stanley Shenk.
