Perhaps you have heard some of these statements before: “The majority is always right.” “Follow the crowd.” “In union there is strength.” Now, this is what people say; it is not Scripture. Sometimes it is true and sometimes it is not. If God is with one person, that person is on the winning side. However, if there is a multitude of people and God is not for them, they will not win. All your friends may say, “Everybody’s doing it,” but God says, “Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil” (Exodus 23:22Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment: (Exodus 23:2)). The Bible has many examples of those who were in the minority and yet overcame. They acted in faith and God helped them. These examples are recorded so that we too may overcome difficulties and walk in obedience to God’s Word.
