'Bargaining In The Bible.'
Judges 1:24.
a) The spies saw a man coming out of the town
b) And said to him:
c) "Please show us how to get into town,
d) "And we will show you kindness."
(This Second one teaches me that there was bargaining In The Bible times!)
PRAY: To learn to give unconditional and not conditional kindness.

There are examples of Bargaining in the Bible. The second part of this QT clearly shows us so. In most parts of the World bargaining is a part of the culture and is not necessarily sinful or evil. Bargaining only becomes bad when sin is introduced as a part of the "deal"! Believers need to be wise and flexible, but without compromise, when dealing with the World System.
