Good morning, everyone!
Today I read Deuteronomy 24-27.
And there were some interesting laws today.
I think my favorite was the law about newly married soldiers.
One of God's laws commands that newly married soldiers be given a year off to spend with their wives before returning to duty. To ensure her "happiness."
What a great idea!
There were a lot of other laws too, including ones for the provision of orphans and widows.
I'll summarize here: when you harvest your crops (grapes, olives, wheat) you only go over it once. Anything that falls, or anything that is left, is for the orphan and the widow to pick up so that they will be provided for.
The story of Ruth comes to mind, but we'll get to that later.
I hope you read today's chapters with me today, so that you'll understand better what I'm talking about. Don't just take my word for it.
So that's what I wanted to talk about today.
I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Deuteronomy 28-29.
