Your growth in understanding the Scriptures will begin only when you submit yourself to the rightness and perfection of God’s word (Psalm 12:6-7, 19:7-9, 119:140, Prov. 30:5). Put it in your mind to change your beliefs before changing God’s words (Ps. 119:160-161). And let God be true and every man a liar (Rom. 3:4)
