Daily Devotions: Wrong Influences Always Destroy You - August 14, 2025

Scripture: Nehemiah 13:26
“Was it not because of marriages like these that Solomon king of Israel sinned? Among the many nations there was no king like him. He was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel, but even he was led into sin by foreign women.”

Even the wisest man in history, King Solomon, was led astray by wrong influences. In this message, Pastor Sumrall warns that no matter how strong, smart, or successful we are, bad friendships and harmful influences can wear down our will and lead us into disobedience. Using Solomon’s early choices as a lesson, Pastor urges us to guard our hearts, choose godly influences, and stay more loyal to God than to earthly friends. Surround yourself with people who draw you closer to Him—not away.
