Stubbornness and oneself
Stubbornness is a trait that most of us wrestle with at some point in our lives. It often comes from a desire to hold onto our own way, our own plans, and our own sense of control. While persistence and determination can be good qualities, stubbornness against God can become a barrier that keeps us from His best.
The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 14:12, “There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.” Our stubborn insistence on doing things our way may feel right in the moment, but apart from God’s guidance, it can lead us down paths of frustration and emptiness. God does not call us to independence from Him, but rather to surrender and trust.
