‘The righteous should choose his friends carefully, For the way of the wicked leads them astray.’

Faithful.
In.
Teaching me.
That.
I must.
Be careful.
Of.

And.
Who.
Influences.
Me!
I’ve learned.
That.
Even.
Though.
I’m.
Striving.
Daily.
To.
Please.
God.
That.
I must.
Be careful.
Of.
Who.
I allow.
To.
Influence.
Me.
Influence.
Can be.
Good.
Or.
Bad.
And.
Even.
One.
That.
Claims.
To be.
Righteous.
Can.
Negatively.
Influence.
Others.
If,
They.
Are.
Not.
Holy Spirit.
Filled.
And.
Led!
Look.
God.
Has.
Called.
Us.
To be.
The light.
‘For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light ‘
Ephesians 5:8
Therefore.
We must.
Influence.
The.
Environment.
He.
Has.
Placed us.
In.
To.
Take.
Heed.
To.
His word!
It.
Shouldn’t.
Be.
The other.
Way.
Around.
Where.
Our.
Environment.
Influences.
Us.
Meaning.
We allow.
The.
Wickedness.
In.
The environment.
Get us.
Out.
Of.
God’s will!
Look.
I serve.
In.
College.
Athletics.
And.
I see.
And.
Hear.
Many things.
That.
Don’t.
Please.
God.
Unfortunately.
Many.
Overlook.
It.
To.
Fit in.
However.
God.
Has convicted.
Me.
To be.
A light.
In.
College.

And.
He.
Covers me.
With.
Favor.
While.
I serve.
In.
This environment.
‘Now God had brought Daniel into the favor and goodwill of the chief of the eunuchs. ‘
Daniel 1:9

My brother.
In.
Christ.
Shared.
A social.
Media.
Post.
With.
A coach.
Saying.
Everybody.
Doesn’t.
Belong.
In.
College.
Athletics.
While.
This statement.
Is.
Correct.
God.
Gives us.
Wisdom.
To.
Serve.
In.
Any.
Environment.
He.
Places us.
In.
Therefore.
If.
You lack.
His spirit.
You.
Can’t.
Serve.
In.
Any.
Environment.
Because.
The environment.
Will.
Influence.
You.
Instead.
Of.
You.
Being.
The light!
I pray.
That you.
Take heed.
To.
This word.
And.
Learn.
That.
God.
Has.
Called you.
To be.
The light.
And.
Whatever.
Environment.
He’s.
Placed you.
In.
That.
You will.
Influence.
It.
With.
The wisdom.
He gives.
You.
Through.
The Holy.
Spirit!
I love you!
And.
I pray your day is blessed!
In Jesus name, Amen!
