Proverbs 23:23 Get the truth and never sell it; also get wisdom, discipline, and good judgment.
Hold
It is interesting to read the stock recommendations in the paper about different companies. As stocks tumbled consulting firms encouraged stockholders to sell and avoid increased losses on risky companies. Even though the value of the stock was less than what most people bought at, it was better to sell and get something than to hold and get nothing.
Investing in the stock market is a gamble. When the market is favorable, holding and buying are great. But a bear market leads to a big sell off as people pull their money from the market.
Many people treat religion the same way as they do stocks, buy when it increases my portfolio and sell when it becomes inconvenient. Scripture instructs us differently. Hold onto the truth, never sell it. Even when it appears that truth is going down, in the end it will always prove a worthy investment. The New Testament refers to Jesus as the Truth. Holding onto Jesus and never abandoning our relationship with Him is always good investing advice. Jesus is the one place we can invest and have a guaranteed return.
Jesus, I thank you for keeping every promise you every made to me. You are the author of truth and are Truth yourself. Help me never to doubt you are with me and have the best in store for me even when life makes you hard to see. -Dan Jones
