Psalm 119:72 says, “The law of Your mouth is better to me than thousands of coins of gold and silver.” As I started meditating on this verse, a song came to mind. “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul, the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. Chorus: More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold…”

Renewing our mind with Scripture converts our soul: mind, will, emotions. Ephesians 4:23 Amplified says, “And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind (having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude).”

Romans 12:2 J. B. Phillips says, “Don’t let the world around you squeeze you into its own mould, but let God re-mould your minds from within…” The Amplified says, “…be transformed (changed) by the (entire) renewal of your mind (by its new ideals and its new attitude)…” Spiritual metamorphosis ~ inner transformation.
