Changing one's opinion
is a confusing element in human behavior.
Politicians are not the only ones who do that.
We all change, influenced by other opinions,
by the winds of time.
Sometimes it's a change from ignorance to knowledge;
sometimes a change from inconvenience to convenience;
sometimes from the truth to a lie.
Another day I was arranging my visa to travel .
The lady at the consulate told me to come back on Wednesday.
When I went back on Wednesday she exclaimed,
"I said Wednesday, but I meant Thursday!"
Opinions come with responsibilities.
Does a changed mind give us the right to step out
of responsibilities? We can do it, but not without consequences.
Our character, integrity and trustworthiness are at stake.
"but a faithful man who can find?"
Proverbs 20:6
Our credibility will be in danger every time when
the motivation for our changed opinion
is something less than the truth.
In today's climate personal opinions and rights are
encouraged more than the judgment between right and wrong.
We need to continue running to the Rock that is higher than us.
Psalm 61:2
