Proverbs 23:23 exhorts us, "Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding." This verse emphasizes the great value of truth, equating it with wisdom, instruction, and understanding. Truth is a treasure that should not be compromised for anything else. In a world where lies and falsehoods abound, we are called to hold fast to truth, even when it is costly or difficult. Truth is not only a moral virtue but also a source of wisdom and guidance in our lives. When we seek the truth and apply it, we gain understanding and discernment. Truth enriches our lives, helping us to make decisions that align with God's will and leading us into deeper relationship with Him.
