"Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong. When you give testimony in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the crowd" - Exodus 23:2
Don't follow the wrong crowd. Seems pretty simple right? We all know that's a lie, and sometimes we even go as far to strive to follow the wrong crowd because they make us feel good, and popular. I know I suffer from this sometimes and wish I could just be "normal" and follow the world and sometimes I do. But guess what? It's not even worth it, not even worth the sin. You know why? Because nothing, absolutely nothing can come close to the amazing experience of hanging out with God. Sometimes it's hard to remember though when all your friends are getting drunk and look like there having a lot of fun on Instagram and your at home watching tv with your mom. Like I said earlier I am a sucker for this too, but then I go and read the bible verse on my phone. Normally it makes me feel better, but here's something to think about next time this happens to you and you want to side with the wrong crowd. Remember that you are unique. Being you, is the most IMPORTANT person you can be. God made no one else like you, not even close and you know why? Because your going to make a difference in this world, and every situation where you choose to be close to God and not the world your making a difference. Your setting not only an example, but your setting yourself up for success in the future to bring people to Christ through God, and the most important part? When you choose God over the wrong crowd, he will bring the right crowd into your life and that crowd will be more fun than any other crowd you've ever seen or heard of and not only that but they will care about you, for you, and help you when times get tough. So next time your on social media or hear someone talking about an awesome party last night, remember that you are different and you choose God.
