Sharing is Caring

God’s Mercy         “So you handed them over to their enemies, who oppressed them. But when they were oppressed they cried out to you. From heaven you heard them, and in your great compassion you gave them deliverers, who rescued them from the hand of their enemies.   But as soon as they were at rest, they again did what was evil in your sight. Then you abandoned them to the hand of their enemies so that they ruled over them. And when they cried out to you again, you heard from heaven, and in your compassion you delivered them time after time.   You warned them to return to your law, but they became arrogant and disobeyed your commands.   They sinned against your ordinances, by which a man will live if he obeys them.
