I guess if the Israelites would follow God's mandates laid out here, we wouldn't have 1-800- LAWYERS. The Bible is very specific as far as any situation that would arise from the area personal injury and the rules and the punishment is very simple and clear. Restitution must be made so that there is order and not chaos. God does provide a way when He was the one that allows it (v13) and there are courts that will judge (v 22). Here is also where the eye for an eye (24-25) instance was stated. This was the "law" that governed much of what affected restitution in the "wild west". It is clear that God is One of order, justice and mercy.
Looking forward to having dinner with Irene tonight and her company before she heads down to FL for a while. Praying for her day and her safe passage here later. Also glad to have spent time talking with GG and catching up with him as well. Praiseful that his annual tests went well and he is good for another year. Nice that he is able to join Irene and Marlene and company for the long weekend as well in FL. Got my new lappy and will bring it home this weekend so David can work on it and perform his magic!
Praise for today: The Lord reigns, he is robed in majesty; the Lord is robed in majesty and is armed with strength. The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.
Ohhhh...FL sounds nice about now! :)
