Deuteronomy 17-19, Psalms 45
What God said to me – Don’t act like the world around you! Don’t be seduced by it and drawn in! One of the ways they know you belong to Me is that you are different. You don’t do the things they do or go to the places they go. It is a fine line you must walk so that you are in the world but not of it. You must develop relationships in order to have influence for Me, but there are some lines you cannot cross. In spite of what they say, there is a grudging respect that comes as they see you walk the walk with Me. When you go too far into the world and cross those lines, you lose that respect and ability to be an influence.
