Ever called yourself stubborn? Have you ever refused to do what you know to be right, because of fear, pride, or because of the principle?
According to the bible, God sees stubbornness as the (hidden) sin of idolatry. (1 Sam 15:23 ...stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry). Put simply, that means when you act stubbornly, that you are idolizing yourself, and placing yourself above God. Can you say self-check?
We must be honest with ourselves and see how our behavior is not godly.
Let us stop disguising, or in some cases confusing, our iniquities as Type A personalities, tenacity, or perseverance with SELF-Worship..
Here's a challenge for you. The next time that you are being stubborn about something, take a look in the mirror. See if your facial features are distorted at all. See if you look a bit childish.
I love you, and I am praying for you.
