50% Off Clearance Price

Shopping, it is a more than a necessary evil these days. Along with purchasing the necessary items needed to be fed, clothed, and warm, it is a hobby enjoyed by the vast majority of the population.
Modern day retailers are more than willing to make our shopping trips a pleasant experience. At the same time the retailers will take that hard earned money and reinvest in advertising campaigns to get you to come back and shop again.
One of the challenges for the seasoned shopper is to find a bargain. The less money paid for an expensive item, the better the satisfaction. I have found myself going straight to the sale rack when I entered a store, not even stopping to look at the items that were full price.
“Isn’t this gorgeous?”, we will show the bargain as if it is a trophy. “I found this on the sale rack. It was marked down to 50% off the lowest price.” It’s as if the bargain is a trophy. The less we spend, the more we like it.
But do we do the same thing with the things of God? Do we look at what He has to offer and then decide to take what doesn’t cost as much?
Do we go shopping for relationships, but instead of looking for one that costs time, prayer, and maybe some heartache, we go straight to the one who won’t cost near as much.
The great thing about God is we don’t have to worry about going to the sale rack. Jesus has already paid the price for our salvation, our peace, and our redemption.
When it comes to His joy, His strength, His grace, His mercy, and His love, we don’t have to go to the clearance rack. The items are bought and paid.
You are precious in the sight of God and your redemption has been paid.
Don’t bargain shop when it comes to God.
