Truth Bomb

22 

Listen to your father, who gave you life,
     and don’t despise your mother when she is old.

23 

Get the truth and never sell it;
     also get wisdom, discipline, and good judgment.

24 

The father of godly children has cause for joy.
     What a pleasure to have children who are wise.

Verses 22

If the son loves his parents, then he should listen to them. He should obey their instructions. And he should learn to be wise. Then his parents will be glad. They will have great joy, because their son will be a wise man.

So, the son should choose the best things in life. He should not choose money or possessions. He should choose the truth. And he should choose wisdom, discipline and understanding. These qualities will cause the son to become a great man.

A wise son is better than a rich son. A wise son is better than a famous son. And a wise son is much better than a foolish son.

Verse 22 reminds us about God’s command in Exodus 20:12. Children should respect their parents.

In verse 23, we cannot buy and sell truth with money. But truth and wisdom cost much in effort to obtain. So do wisdom and understanding.

Think about this: Today, there are people who sell "truth." If you pay them, they can use the Internet to make a lot of people believe whatever they publish. But what they’re selling isn’t the real truth—it’s a way to influence votes, spread conspiracy theories, or justify racism or anti-Semitism. Do you ever fact-check the emails you receive or the social media posts you read? You should, so you don’t end up supporting something that’s already been proven false.
