My Daily Journal
My take away today was in the question about being godly when everyone around you is not. This is as true of a challenge in our day as it has been in any day. If anything, the influence of culture can be even more difficult to avoid, with the intrusion into every media, billboard, airwaves, dress. But we get a good example of how to address this from Noah’s and Enoch’s examples.
On pinterest (yes, I have a pinterest account), I saw a sign that says you become like the 5 people that you spend the most time with. So what example do we see in Genesis? Noah was surrounded by people whose every thought was evil. So who did he spend his days with? God! If the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are 3 of the 5 people you spend the most time with, how would that transform who you become?
