10:12-13 Rules for Life Here we have a summary of the laws God gave to his people: honor, love, serve, and obey God. This is the culmination of all he asks of us. Regardless of our suffering, disabilities, or other challenges we face, it is crucial to respond in obedience.

10:18-19 Protecting the Weak These verses are yet another indication of God’s compassion for the disenfranchised and rejected in our world. His repeated commands to show mercy and seek justice for the weak and the oppressed demonstrate how important they are to him. When you feel rejected, remember that God is with you, providing justice and mercy for you.
