At times, stubbornness can be a virtue. It is important to persevere, to maintain, and to stay focused, all of which require a bit of stubbornness. Where stubbornness can become a fault and even a sin is when it is married to the pride of insisting on our own way even when we know we are wrong or that God wants us to make a different choice.
“But they did not listen or pay attention; instead, they followed the stubborn inclinations of their evil hearts.” Jeremiah 7:24
