🌤 Early morning Bible reading discussion with Hubs yesterday… It all started with
Proverbs 23:23 and Garnett pondering on “buying the truth and taking it in prayer – Holy Spirit took if from there and G was off… gave us a lot to chew on 🔥Â
đź“– Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. Proverbs 23:23Â
Acquire the Truth by all rightful means, CLEAVE to it, guard it and defend it, even at the risk of your lifeÂ
đź“– But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Matthew 25:9-10Â
Buy = Strongs 7059: To purchase, to redeem We are told to “redeem the time” –Â
đź“– Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:16
 “buying” up the moments that others throw away in the world – use your time abiding in Him, His Word, fulfilling His Will and the Great Commission. Obtain truth at ALL costs –Â
đź“– Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. Matthew 13:44-46Â
Then, NEVER relinquish it at any price –Â
đź“– But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself Daniel 1:8Â
Daniel “purposed in his heart” not to engage in compromise, though in Babylon – he did not compromise (even though it could have meant death) he did not “go along, to get along”. peculiar, set apart, pilgrims on a narrow path, feeding on the bread of life and manna from heaven – not the lies of this world….. The time is coming to stand for your convictions, your truth, your God and your Faith… His Will, His Way, His Plan, My Faith –
đź“– For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:11Â
đź“– For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s. Romans 14:8
