Daily Scripture Threshing for Thursday, May 14, 2020
Today’s Text: Proverbs 23:19-25
Key Verse: Proverbs 23:23 (ASV): “Buy the truth, and sell it not; Yea, wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.”
There are so many people who know the truth but never realize the worth of it; and therefore never do anything about it. But you need to this: It doesn't bother or move the Devil and his cohorts that anyone finds a piece of the truth like many religious people. Reason is: he always sees to it that all they make out of it is religion. He buys the truth over for false trust in religiosity that do not go more than skin deep.
Today’s text presents truth in allegories of wisdom, self-discipline, and understanding. These are qualities no one should trade for anything. They are qualities philosophers due to find but unfortunately, which cannot be found anywhere else, but in Christ. Many religious people know this, yet false religious confidence buys that truth over from them so that they live as though there were another source and stem of truth beside Christ. And that’s all it takes to sell the truth. What about you? Do you know that it is only Christ’s truth that sets free from all physical and spiritual errors? What are you going to do with this truth? Are you going to treasure it or trash it?!
Quote for the Day: "If worldly were not enough foolishness; then those who claim themselves to be wise would pay any terms, and spare no pains nor cost to get godly wisdom.” (Simon Olatunji)
Prayer: Lord, help me grow each day in lifestyle cherish of your wisdom and truth. Help me never to trade it for silver or gold, in Jesus name. Amen.
With all my love and prayer,
Rev Simon Wale Olatunji, PhD
