Opinions can be good


Arm chair quarterback, columnist, talk radio and so many more can be known for giving their opinions.

Facebook can be funny because of all the funny things people can say or do.

I would say the same goes to Pinterest and they can crack me up.

One recently suggested that “Pinterest was created by a group of men who are tricking women everywhere into cooking, cleaning and working out.”

Cracked me up.

Opinions.

Opinions can be taken as a bad thing, like unwanted advice.

We can take some Opinions in a bad way.

Are there times when opinions are good?

Sometimes opinions can change our mind to do something better or give us a better idea.

I had knee trouble for a long time.

I went to a specialist and he told me there was nothing he could do, I had a problem with my knee that couldn’t be fixed.

I was down, but Hailee worked with a friend who used another doctor in town and got me in to see them.

They told me something was wrong with my knee and they think they could fix it.

I trusted their opinion and got the surgery.

Best decision ever.

Sometimes listening to others opinions can be a good thing.

Paul was on trial and people brought false witnesses and told the judge wrong things.

That judge didn’t think he did anything wrong but sent him for a second opinion (Governor Felix), but first he stated his, this is some of the letter written to Felix…

“I wanted to know why they were accusing him, so I brought him to their Sanhedrin. I found that the accusation had to do with questions about their law, but there was no charge against him that deserved death or imprisonment.”

Getting a second opinion to make sure you make the right call.

Paul’s life was on the line and while their might have been other motives for not naming him innocent rather than sending him to Felix, he got a second opinion when a man’s life was on the line accused of things he didn’t do.”

Opinions can help.

Opinions are not always evil.

They can help give a great perspective.

They gave a great perspective on Paul and how he did nothing wrong.

Opinions can be helpful even if we are stubborn.

How has listening to another person’s opinion helped you out?

I loved my second opinion about my knees.

They are great and improved drastically since the surgery.

Don’t just automatically ignore another’s opinion.

Think about it, it might help you out even if it’s not what you want to hear.

Have a great day.
