Read Zechariah 11-14
Zechariah 11:12 says, "And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver." These people didn’t want to mess around with a prophet of God. And Zechariah didn’t sound open to negotiation. He demanded a price and they willingly paid it.
We look around for the best bargains for what we need and what we want. We aren’t stuck with paying a price we may not agree with. Even in small towns where there may not be too many options, the Internet opens the whole world of low prices for us.
But getting a word from the Lord is priceless. No matter what it might cost us, if we knew we were hearing straight from God we would go anywhere anytime at any price. Since the Lord speaks to us through His word, through preachers, teachers, books, and even others around us, we aren’t charged to hear it. All we have to do is listen.
