Reading Exodus 22:16-31 (NLT) ~ Scripture reading followed by discussion. Laws addressing the exploitation and oppression of others. God reminding the people that “God Hears”. James 1:27, and Galatians 5:22. God wants His people to bare the fruit to His Holy Spirit. The call to self-control, compassion, kindness and gentleness. Another piece to the call is humility (v28). God has been faithful, it’s important to remember.
