Generally, stubbornness is not regarded as a good quality to have. Stubborn people are usually shunned socially because people feel that they are hard to deal with. They are resistant to change and ideas. This quality inhibits growth in business and job opportunities, as well.
However, stubbornness in some areas is a good characteristic. When faced with a moral dilemma on the job or in our personal lives, it is good to stubbornly refuse to compromise our values. When it comes to providing for and protecting our families, we must resolutely do everything in our power to achieve these goals.
I Corinthians 15:58 says, “Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor will not be in vain.” In these verses we are given a command and a promise. The command states that we must be steadfast in following Jesus and doing His work. If we heed this command, God promises that our labor will not be in vain. All our work will then achieve the objectives that God has set for us andwewillbepleasedwiththeresults.
