It is not for us to judge anyone understanding of the scripture, what you comprehend, and what another person understands may vary. Who are we to say our interpretation of scripture is right, and someone else understanding is wrong. We all interpret what we read differently and if what we study leaves our spirit nourished, strengthen, and joyful we have the correct understanding. So do not assume you are always right, and everybody else is wrong. The Word is a living organism and as all organism change so will the understanding of God’s word. Our knowledge of the Word will also depend on the mindset we are in when we study. Now do not be confused, the Word does not change, our interpretation of the word changes according to our needs.
Father, give us the wisdom of Your Word, so we may nourish our spirits and mature into the people You designed us to be. Give us Your knowledge and the courage to share Your word with those in need of You. We thank You for inspiring all scripture by the Holy Spirit so that we will be equipped for every good work. Help us understand that what we receive from Your word, is for the uplifting of Your kingdom, our souls, and to guide others to You. Lord, let us not argue with those who feel they are scholars of Your word but give us the patience to listen without judgment. Thank You, Father, for making Yourself known to us, showing us the way of salvation through faith in Your Son. Father continue teaching us, so that we may be ready to serve You, for the glory of Your Kingdom and our Lord Jesus Christ Amen
