daily word - A deal with God?

Have you ever negotiated with me? You are familiar with the concept in your culture of commerce and trade. People in difficult situations will approach me with promises they can’t keep about their future behavior if only I will get them out of their current predicament. Have you ever done this? How did it work out? Reflect on this some time when you are not in a pickle ask yourself what you have to bargain with when you approach me. Do you think you have to buy my favor? If you understand my love for you then you know you just need to ask and you don’t need to invite me to play let’s make a deal.
