Get the truth and never sell it; also get
wisdom, discipline, and good judgment. Proverbs 23:23
Some things you just can’t buy…or sell. Money,
love, wisdom and truth. Discipline and good judgment aren’t found for sale
either. No price tag would be enough to cover it.
It was after the Last Supper
that Judas sold out Jesus…The Truth. Judas Iscariot agreed to turn over Jesus to the Temple guards for thirty silver coins. He sold out the Truth…but that didn’t give Judas any satisfaction. When Judas,
who had betrayed him, realized that Jesus had been condemned to die, he was
filled with remorse. So he took the thirty pieces of silver back to the leading
priests and the elders. Matthew 27:3.
Seek and you will find…Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and
it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks
finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Matthew 7:7-8 NASB. Ask for
truth, wisdom, discipline and good judgment. Seek those things from the Lord. Then
they will be yours…you won’t have to try to buy them…nor will you ever want to
sell them. Don’t sell out the truth or wisdom. You can teach others about truth
and about wisdom—but it isn’t something—even a gift—we can give. Have you asked
the Lord for wisdom?
Prayer
~ Lord, we come before you…seeking wisdom with all our heart, soul and mind that
we would make wise choices day by day that would please You. May others see our
wisdom as a gift from You and desire it for themselves…along with salvation. We
acknowledge that salvation comes only to a repentant heart, humbled by the
blood of Jesus, and rejoicing with His resurrection. Thank you, Jesus, for
dying and living for us. We won’t sell You out.
