"Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
Joash did what was right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
2 Chronicles 24:1-2 (NKJV)
There are people today who are known as influencers, and there are many more people that would like to become influencers. Influencers are often social media personalities who have a large following of people that will buy or do things because of the influencer. There can be various reasons that someone becomes an influencer, and often the reason is that an influencer can generate a lot of money and popularity from their influence. It is good if someone has a positive influence on someone else, but if a person has the wrong influence on others, it would certainly be a bad thing.
In 2 Chronicles 24, we read about King Joash and how the priest Jehoiada was a positive influence on the king. But, when that priest died, there were other people who were a bad influence on the king. This shows how important it is to have the right influence in life and how without the right influence some people can go astray. There are many more stories like this in the Bible that show us the influence that one person can have on another, and there are many ways we can all be a positive influence on other people today.
Whether we realize it or not, we are all having an influence on others, and that can be positive or negative. Of course, we want to have a positive, godly influence on other people, but is that always the case? Are we building people up, or tearing people down? Are we making people better with our influence, or making them worse? We should all be a positive influence on those around us, and it starts with our having a growing relationship with God, so that we have something to positively influence others with. We can all be an influencer today in someone's life, using what God has given us.
