93 – Christ Our Refuge
The old covenant was very strict in terms of a penalty for sin. One who killed was to be killed: an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

88 – The Stars in their courses
Judges 4-5 showed a time where the Children of Israel were so oppressed because of the enemy, that people did not walk boldly on the road, but went through byways. This was until Deborah arose to judge Israel. As a result, she mentioned that the stars in their courses rose up and fought against Sisera. What does this mean?
