What's your price? Hopefully you don't have one, but most of us do. Some of our prices are lower than others. I am talking about sin of course. What is your price when it comes to sinning? Does it take a lot for the devil to buy you or do you sell for low? I usually feel like I am on the bargain rack.
I recently was listening to a Ravi Zacharias sermon and he told a very interesting story on the subject of how easily we buy into sin. The story goes like this; there was a women on an airplane and the man next to her told her she was very beautiful and he would pay her 1 million dollars to spend the night with him. She was taking back at first but later agreed. They set the time and location, but as they were exiting the plane the man said to her, "I would like to only pay 10 dollars for you to spend the night with me." She was shocked and responded, "what do you think I am some kind of prostitute?" In which the man responded, "we have already established you are, we are now just negotiating the price."
So what is your price? Judas' price was 30 pieces of silver? I usually find my price is no amount of money but a feeling of pride or power that I get when I indulge in the things that draw me away from my Father. Is there truly any price we want to pay to be drawn away from our Father? So why do we act like there is?
