Romans 3:4

"Let God be true but every man a liar."

How many times are we sure that we are right--that it's the other guy who's off-track and not seeing things clearly? Well, we can never pull this card with God...He's ALWAYS right. When I read this verse, I sense the urgency of His superiority. It says to me, "even if it FEELS that you might be right on a given issue, if your view clashes with God, then it's no contest--He is right." It's so important that He be right, that it's better for me to see myself as nothing but a liar if my views don't square with His. This is a slap in the face to my pride, but maybe that's what my pride needs. Beyond a slap in the face to my pride, I actually take great comfort in knowing that He's always right. There's a comfort in constancy. Knowing that He is right all the time means that He is the ultimate measuring stick, and that He can ALWAYS be trusted.
