Have you ever felt helpless, powerless or trapped? Maybe it felt like there was no way out of the situation you were in. Have you known others in what seems like impossible situations? God is interested in helping those who are in need and in defending the defenseless. Deuteronomy 10:17 says, “For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes.” To be externally focused means we will care about those in need. God wants His church caring and helping defenseless, powerless and trapped people. How can we as the church love others and fulfill this command?
