Never Underestimate the Influence You Have — Numbers 25:7-8

You don't need a famous name or a large platform to have influence. Phinehas reminds us how one person's faithfulness can affect the people God has placed around them.

You may never be the most recognized person in your profession, family, church, or community. But never underestimate how God can use your influence, leadership, and example to affect the people He has placed in your care. 🕊️ Grow Closer to God with Our Journals • The Daily Devotional Bible Study Journal: • The Daily Devotional Prayer Journal: 🎁 Download a Free Bible Study Resource 💌 Get the Daily Devotional Weekly Wrap-Up!

In Numbers 25, Israel was experiencing the devastating consequences of serious sin and idolatry. In the middle of that crisis, a priest named Phinehas took decisive action against the blatant sin occurring among the people.

God's judgment was turned away, and the plague that had killed 24,000 Israelites came to an end. Phinehas may not be one of the most prominent people in Scripture, but his story reminds us of the influence one faithful person can have.

Maybe you're a parent, teacher, manager, healthcare worker, firefighter, coach, ministry leader, or community leader. You may not be the most famous person in your field, but there are still people watching your example and affected by your decisions.

You don't need to influence everyone. Be faithful with the people God has entrusted to you.

Lead them well. Live in a way that points them toward God.

And never underestimate what God can do through one person's faithfulness. 📖 Scripture: Numbers 25:7-8 (NIV) 💗 Support this ministry: 👕 Shop Faith-Based Apparel & Gifts: 🎙 Podcast: Apple: Spotify: Purchases through applicable Amazon links help support Daily Devotional Ministries at no extra cost to you.
