Moses understood that you
wanted your people
to make provision for the
safety of a person who
accidently killed another and
had to flee for his life.
We are apt to worry over more
mundane matters--
striving over what to
eat and what to drink,
or worry over our
excessive worrying.
From all our
worrying, one would never guess
that prayer can be
powerful and effective;
or that you lift up
the downtrodden
and you cast down the
wicked.
