Deuteronomy 13:1-15:23
Luke 8:40-9:6
Psalm 71:1-24
Proverbs 12:5-7
Question of the day: Deuteronomy 15:9 says, "Do not be mean-spirited and refuse someone a loan because the year for canceling debts is close at hand. If you refuse to make the loan and the needy person cries out to the Lord, you will be considered guilty of sin." What does this mean?
Moses here was teaching about the law that every seven year, all debts were to be cancelled. The Lord foresaw that there would be those who would refuse to lend knowing that they would not be repaid. God went on to say that it was a spirit of generosity that he desired from his people. If you saw someone in need, you were to reach out to him.
