Journal Prompt: How do you “taste and see” that the Lord is good? (from Psalm 34)

Answers:

Deuteronomy 19:  The cities of refuge were created to people who unintentionally killed someone.  If a man hated another man before he killed him then he was not eligible for the protection afforded by the cities of refuge.

Deuteronomy 20: Those who were exempt from serving in the army: those who had just built a house and hadn’t dedicated it yet; those who had planted a vineyard but not yet received a crop, those who were betrothed but hadn’t consummated the marriage and those who were very fearful.

Luke 20: Jesus said to beware of the scribes because of their hypocrisy.
