"Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he did not take even this to heart. "(Exodus 7:23)
What would it take to get you to change your mind about any given issue? Would some catastrophe have to happen? Would you need compelling evidence contrary to what you already believed?
Exodus tells of how Pharaoh's heart was hardened. He could see evidence that something was going on beyond what he could explain away. Minor catastrophe's were happening, in the form of plagues, yet still he didn't budge.
When we get to a place where our own stubborn pride blinds us from not only seeing or hearing something different, we won't even think about it for a minute.
Being stubborn never serves anyone well. Being open to another possibility might not necessarily make you change your mind, but at least you've thought about it.
Sadly many would just assume turn away and lock ourselves in our own, home, or bubble if you will. No new information allowed. No change allowed to occur, because who cares whether things are going terribly wrong all around us, or who else is being affected.
Blessings,
