Beloved, Joshua chapters 14-20 clearly shows that God cares about our living situations and inheriance a great deal. And God cares for all people. Does it mean that we have to be sensitive and compassionate to others needs, even if they are sinners? Answer is Yes. Father, I pray you help me be and think like you in caring for the living conditions of ALL people around me and help me to be ready to appoint a portion of what I have to provide a place of refuge to whomever you say I should help in JESUS name, Amen
Joshua 20:1-3 (Read verses 1-7 for full context)
1 The LORD said to Joshua,
2 “Now tell the Israelites to designate the cities of refuge, as I instructed Moses.
3 Anyone who kills another person accidentally and unintentionally can run to one of these cities; they will be places of refuge from relatives seeking revenge for the person who was killed.
Numbers 35:6
6 “Now among the cities which you will give to the Levites you shall appoint six cities of refuge, to which a manslayer may flee. And to these you shall add forty-two cities.
