Growing in Wisdom

Learning to understand Scripture faithfully, exercise biblical discernment, receive correction, and apply God's truth wisely.

Read Psalm 119:18

TODAY'S CHALLENGE

Choose one difficult passage. Read the surrounding chapter, pray for understanding, and write down what the text clearly teaches before reaching for an explanation.
