Something came up at work this last week that made me realize how easy and quickly I could change me mind. There was a program that the company was asking everyone to contribute to, of course it was strictly voluntary. The pressure and tatics to get everyone to participate were intense. I do not support that type of activity at work, so I respectfully declined the offer.
The last day of the campaign I got a call from my boss. He asked if I would consider giving the minimum amount, which was $1. Evidently, it was a very important goal to get 100% participation. Now, hearing my boss's voice on the phone as he gently explained the reasons behind this push, I quickly said I would be happy to.
Why? Because I respect my boss and it was important to him - not just the company. I simply changed my mind to be on the same page as my boss.
It occured to me this morning that if I can change my mind that quick for my boss, whom I respect, then I can do that for my God, Jesus, whom I love.
Titus 1 says: Listen, to those who are pure, all things are pure but to those who are corrupt nothing is pure because their minds and their consciences are polluted. They claim, I know God but their actions are a slap to his face. They are wretched, disobedient and useless to any worthy cause.
Surely God's cause is more worthwhile than my boss's. I think I will change my mind more often!
