Proverbs 23:23 says: “Buy the truth and sell it not.”
Men, we must be wise when we instruct our families about liberty and freedom that we do not put the cart before the horse, as the old saying goes. We can be so taken up with liberty that we fail to put sufficient emphasis on that which goes before it, THE TRUTH. It is the truth that makes us free (John 8:32).
What a revelation it is when we realize that the greatest heritage we can buy for our children is truth. God will only bless that which is built upon the truth. It may be costly to purchase the truth for our families. Homeschool requires personal sacrifice. Sharing the Scriptures and praying together morning and evening comes with the cost of changing one’s schedule and priorities in order to make it work. T
he truth is indeed “the pearl of great price” (Matthew 13:46). It is worth the sale or sacrifice of everything else to get it for your family, for in purchasing the truth you get Jesus Christ who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life! One expositor says, “This pearl is worth everything, and everything is what it will take to obtain it.”
Be encouraged.
