Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness ... neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
Let’s learn a real lesson from this verse. Sodom had the things that we want: pride, prosperity and spare time. Their pride led them to be haughty and uncharitable. Their prosperity made them self-sufficient, self-centered, and God-neglecting. They used their spare time to get away from God and into gross immorality. Sometimes the things we want are not what is best for us. God knows what is best for us and will not hold back anything that is for our good. Let God decide and provide what He sees is best for us.
