Opinions

Now let me address the issue of food offered in sacrifice to idols. It seems that everyone believes his own opinion is right on this matter. How easily we get puffed up over our opinions! But love builds up the structure of our new life. 2 If anyone thinks of himself as a know-it-all, he still has a lot to learn. 3 But if a person passionately loves God, he will possess the knowledge of God. (1 Corinthians 8:1-3 The Passion)

Our opinions can be strong and because of this they are can cause conflict with other people. We always want to think that we are the ones that are right in our opinions. If we are not those who want to learn, but just form our own opinions we will probably lose in many relationships.

Father, help me to be more and more willing to learn and not just form opinions without all the necessary information. AMEN

My God, because I want to be one who pursues You, I know that my steps will firmly follow You. Even if I stumble badly, I will still survive for You will lift me up with Your hands. Psalm 37
