INFLUENCERS

Today's reading: Jeremiah 12-16

"...You are to influence them; do not let them influence you!" Jeremiah 15:19 NLT

One hears a lot about 'influencers' these days.

People who set the fashion scene by their attire.

Men and women who determine, for their followers, the latest fads.

Artists who turn heads and change views.

This is not a new thing.

You see, God asked His people a very long time ago to be 'influencers'.

To stand out in the crowd.

To set the tone.

To make marks on history.

To impact the lives of the people around them.

He gave strict instructions to be the ones influencing--and not the ones being influenced.

So, if I may ask, how are you doing with that command?
