Today's Daily Principle is BUSINESS: MANAGEMENT, specifically dealing with Fair Value. This principle is found in 2 Samuel 24–24. The verse reads: 'But the king answered, “No, I will pay you for it. I will not offer to the Lord my God sacrifices that have cost me nothing.” And he bought the threshing place and the oxen for 50 pieces of silver.' This principle emphasizes the importance of valuing what we offer in business dealings. Ensuring that what we provide or invest comes at a cost is fundamental to establishing fairness and integrity in transactions. Just as King David refused to offer something that cost him nothing, modern businesses should strive to ensure their offerings are meaningful and valuable, fostering trust and respect in their relationships with stakeholders.
