LIA Devotional: God tells the prophet Ezekiel in Ez. 16:49-50, that He destroyed Sodom because they "did not help the "poor and needy." Throughout scripture we read where God commands us to help the poor and needy. As followers of Jesus, we cannot ignore His commands. In fact, Jesus says in John 14:15, "If you love me, you will keep My commandments." We keep His commandments because love Him. Let's show our love of Jesus by keeping His commandments, including helping the poor and needy.
