"Buy the truth and do not sell it; get wisdom, discipline and understanding." Proverbs 23:23 (NIV)
King Solomon said obtain the truth at whatever cost, and never give it up at any price. Get The Truth and in all of your "getting" be sure to also get wisdom, get discipline, and get understanding.
Jesus, The Christ, is The Truth. (John 14:6) The beginning of wisdom is knowing and fearing The Lord. (Psalms 111:10 & Proverbs 9:10) Letting Jesus into your life is the best thing you can do. Knowledge without wisdom and understanding is useless. Just knowing a bunch of facts is useless unless one understands the significance of the facts and is able to apply them in the appropriate situation. Just knowing who Jesus is, is not enough. We must believe in Him, seek Him, and obey Him. The devil and his demons know who He is. (James 2:19) Once we get it we must do something with it. Applying the wisdom and understanding is where discipline come in. Sustained effort is necessary to exercise our faith. Faith and belief without work is useless. (James 2:20 & 26)
