The Penalty for Murder

Scripture Numbers 35:30 ” `Anyone who kills a person is to be put to death as a murderer only on the testimony of witnesses. But no one is to be put to death on the testimony of only one witness.

Observation: There isn’t a day that the news doesn’t report a murder. Yet trials go on for months, murderers are making book deals and sometimes even suing the state for breaking their rights. So many millions of dollars are spent and murderers get out of prison and murder again. Our society has more pity on the convict than the victim’s family. God tells us what the penalty is for murder, a life for a life.

Application: I need to seek guidance from my Lord. My heart breaks for what we have done to this country that God has blessed us with. We make Sodom and Gomorrah look righteous. God has given us commands and He has placed His law on our hearts and I need to do whatever God calls me to do.

Prayer: My Lord forgive us for the way we have disobeyed you. Touch those that have been given the power to change things your law. We have made a mess of things please my Lord come and renew what we have destroyed.
