People are very open-minded about new things—as long as they’re exactly like the old ones. (Charles F. Kettering, American engineer and inventor)
We’re often the victim of our past: “We’ve never done it that way before,” and similar expressions. We accept change but only if it’s within certain strict limits of our experience. Such an
attitude eliminates progress altogether.
He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. (Daniel 2:21)
