We’ve been talking about being surrounded by people, but it also matters WHO you spend time with. You’ve learned in school about the effects that bad choices can have on your body and mind (like vaping, substances, pressure, anxiety) – but have you thought about it from God’s perspective? Your body is a temple of God. You are His beloved child. He has amazing plans for you. Yet you are clinging to a temporary fix for problems that only He can overcome. Do not play with fire; say NO to these temptations and YES to Jesus!
❣️ Anyone can drift along with the stream, but it takes guts to stick to your values when faced with temptation!
🙏 Prayer: Jesus, please hold my hand firmly in Yours and lead me on the right path. As I am faced with many choices, help me to not isolate myself and to not withdraw from what is good for me. Amen.
🔊 Challenge: Prayerfully identify 1 choice where you can go upstream today or this week. Make a plan for exactly how you will swim against the social current.
