Ungodly influence
Have you ever been on a diet? You tell yourself you’re not going to go by that bakery with all the wonderful smells of bread and pastries. Then, two days later, you think, ‘oh, those smells won’t bother me, they won’t deter me from my diet.’
Then before you know it, you stop inside the bakery just to see the latest creation of pasties and you’re ordering a donut to go.
That’s how sin works. It slowly sneaks into your daily routine that you don’t even realize it’s there. And before you know it, you’re sinning; you’re doing what you promised yourself you wouldn’t do.
If you want to live a Godly life, then you’ll need to separate yourself from ungodly influences. Don’t let worldly pleasures dominate Godly principles.
Your character defines your influence. Our character is influenced and developed by our choices.
God sometimes uses trials to strengthen character. Others especially watch Christians when they’re going through trials.
Set a good example for others to follow and your Godly reputation will be evident to all.
Make your Godly influence be evident to others.
Psalm 1:1 - “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;”
