Gold Nugget
Verse 23: “Buy the
truth, and do not sell it, also wisdom and
instruction and understanding.”
Commentary
If our lives were the stock market, the best investments would be the commodities mentioned in

sell it, also wisdom and instruction and understanding.”

Here are few stock tips for finding a steady return:

Prayer
Lord,
the elements mentioned in today’s “gold nugget” cannot be bought at the corner
store or off of EBay. They are given to us by you through commitment and
loyalty. Help us to invest in the things eternal and watch them overshadow the
things that are temporal. Amen
