Buy


Buy the truth and sell it not; not only that, but also get discernment and judgment, instruction and understanding.

O Israel, wait and watch for God— with God's arrival comes love, with God's arrival comes generous redemption. No doubt about it—he'll redeem Israel, buy back Israel from captivity to sin.

If you see your enemy hungry, go buy him lunch; if he's thirsty, bring him a drink. Your generosity will surprise him with goodness, and God will look after you.

"Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.

God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children.

This time I'm writing out the plan in them, carving it on the lining of their hearts. I'll be their God, they'll be my people. They won't go to school to learn about me, or buy a book called God in Five Easy Lessons. They'll all get to know me firsthand, the little and the big, the small and the great. They'll get to know me by being kindly forgiven, with the slate of their sins forever wiped clean. By coming up with a new plan, a new covenant between God and his people, God put the old plan on the shelf. And there it stays, gathering dust

Proverbs 23:23 Psalm 130:7 Proverbs 25:21 Isaiah 55:1 Hebrews 8:6 Galatians 4:5

Monitor your heart daily to avoid wandering from God’s wisdom.
