Discovering the Power of the Word of God

I've written often about the importance of immersing ourselves in the word of God and have shared  tools for helping us do that well.  Today I want to take one step back and share a short scripture hammer tool to help young believers discover the absolute importance the scriptures.  The tools are great but if your disciple doesn't understand why they need to apply the tool, well, it may not do much good.
I've gathered a number of verses that form a short scripture hammer that when prayerfully read together, will hopefully help your disciple discover the necessity of reading and applying the word on a daily basis.

I've simply copied the verses into the back of my Bible and when reading through these, will encourage my disciple to do the same.

When I sit down to read these with my disciple - or a group of disciples - I read each passage two to three times aloud and then have the individual or the group summarize the basic message in their own words.  I save the last passage - Jesus' confrontation with the devil in the wilderness - for last as a way to sort of watch Jesus apply the scriptures in His own life.  

The goal is to help our disciples discover the joy, the benefit and the power of the scriptures in our lives.  The sooner we can help them begin prayerfully engaging with the scriptures on a daily basis, the quicker they will grow toward maturity.  If we really believe that the Holy Spirit will guide us - and them - into all truth (John 16:13) then we have to help them get into the scriptures trusting that the Holy Spirit will indeed disciple them into all truth. 

Do you have a young believer in your life who is struggling to get into the word daily?   Find some time to sit down and work through these scriptures together.

Do you have another scripture or story that you would include in the list?  Share it in the comments below. 

Scripture List:
  • 2 Timothy 3:16-17
  • Psalm 119: 11, 105
  • Isaiah 55:11
  • Psalm 1:1-3
  • Hebrew 4:12
  • Luke 4:1-13

If you do take a disciple through this discovery study, let me know how it went in the comments as well.
