 30 Silver Coins for God? 💰 7-Step QT 🙏 Quiet Time 📅 October 26, 2025 ✝️ Zechariah 11:1-17 📖 Then the LORD said to me, “Throw it to the potter”—the lordly price at which I was priced by them. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the LORD, to the potter (v. 13). 📝 Thirty silver coins—the price of a slave—were paid for God in Zechariah’s time, revealing how little He was valued.

Therefore great anger came from the LORD of hosts (vv. 11-12). 📝As AI raises concerns about creation defying its creator, we’re reminded that humans were made to glorify and enjoy God.
