Read: Exodus 21
Reflect: These ordinances deal with fairness
in the existing culture of the Israelites, where even slaves and women must be
treated with a certain level of respect and people are liable for their ox’s
bad behavior. If God were to give ordinances to a modern-day Moses, how do you
think fairness would play out? What areas of our culture today call out for
God’s fairness?
Write: Here or privately.
Recite: …for I the Lord your God am a
jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of the parents, to the third
and fourth generation of those who reject me, but showing steadfast love to the
thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments. Exodus
20:5-6
Pray: Almighty God, help me to obey you in
all things. Thank you for your mercy and love. Amen.
