Buy the Truth

“Buy the truth, and don’t sell it. Get wisdom, discipline, and understanding.” (Proverbs‬ ‭23:23‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Nothing is more precious than revelations about Jesus who is the way, the TRUTH, and the life. He is also who Wisdom represents in the Book of Proverbs.

Godly wisdom is stored up and reserved like precious treasure for the “upright” who are God’s children.

“For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity; that he may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of his saints.” (Proverbs‬ ‭2:6-8‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

To sell the truth means to give it away—discarding it as if there is anything else more worthy to trade it for.

When we trade revelations of Jesus away and choose to embrace ways of the world instead, we get conned into a bad deal.

Only knowing the truth can set us free. If we sell the truth, then we are left with unprofitable lies that leave us in bondage.

“Jacob boiled stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was famished. Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am famished.” Therefore his name was called Edom. Jacob said, “First, sell me your birthright.” Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?” Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Jacob. Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.” (Genesis‬ ‭25:29-34‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Esau was a man who was very short-sighted. He could only see what was in front of him. He was very hungry, and there was freshly-boiled stew, so he sold his birthright for a meager bowl of stew.

The birthright was something intangible to him so it did not seem real or valuable. He was a man who walked by sight and not by faith.

When you are feeling a desperate need, do you sell the truth and buy the world’s ways?

“All these revelations about Jesus are not practical or useful. Don’t get me wrong, they are good to know, but they cannot help me fix this problem in my life.”

A statement like that is like Esau despising his birthright, saying, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”

If you treat the Gospel of Jesus Christ as precious, God will be really pleased, for that is what He considers as true treasure. He who honors Jesus, receives honor because every good thing is found in Christ.

“For to the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he gives travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him who pleases God. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.” (Ecclesiastes‬ ‭2:26‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Can you see that God considers wisdom, knowledge, and joy as His precious gifts and priority, whereas gathering and heaping up (material wealth) is seen as a secondary matter?

You buy the truth by seeking out revelations about Jesus Christ, and making it your priority to know Him more.

When God gives you a rhema word, act upon it. Doubt it at your own detriment. God is good and His word is true. Buy the truth and do not sell it!

大流行使我們擺脫了時間是無窮無盡的錯覺，以及我們為職業做出的犧牲總是值得的虛假承諾。它提醒我們，生活是關於我們和誰共度一生。

人們在大流行發生後的所有變化，讓我覺得我們在大流行前並不那麼快樂。在我們的生活中，是什麼阻止我們看到現在看得如此清晰的事物？
