Devotional Thoughts about Influence
Do you remember someone who had a bad influence on you during your childhood? Maybe it was neighborhood kid or someone at school. Did you follow that bad example because you were afraid of something or because you hoped to get something out of it—or maybe both?
Who were the good influences? For me it was chiefly my parents, consistent Christians who took the Bible and prayer seriously and taught us to stand alone for our faith. I also had some great Sunday School teachers and pastors whose enthusiasm for the Bible helped to kindle my love for it. I’m very thankful for them all.
Surely your influence has also left its mark—probably on your children and grandchildren and maybe others in the family or neighborhood or church. We can’t imagine how closely younger people are watching us and looking to our example for guidance.
Lord, help me be a good influence whose life points people to You.
