The Discovery: Exploring God’s Call On Your Life નમૂનો
Scripture memory, another very important spiritual discipline, is important to the life of a believer because we don’t always have our Bibles handy, and the Enemy doesn’t take a break. We need to be consistently downloading the Word of God onto our mental and spiritual hard drives, so to speak, so that the Word of God becomes a part of our own operating systems. Only by doing so can we expect to be obedient to this command that God has given us:
2 Timothy 4:2 “Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.”
Only by memorizing scripture can we expect to be able to make God-honoring choices when we are in a split-second moment of decision.
Psalm 119:11 “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.”
Jesus used memorized Scripture to battle the Enemy when He was tempted in the wilderness. If the Son of God found Scripture memory helpful, it would be ridiculous for us not to use this powerful weapon when we fight our individual battles.
See the “Scripture Memory Starter Pack” online at skopos.org/discovery for a list of verses essential to your progress as you carry out the ministry of Jesus Christ.

About this Plan
Welcome! We are so excited that you want to explore God’s unique plan for your life. Remember, ultimately, the goal of this reading plan is not to figure out what your future job might be, but to hear from God about what it means to be called, so make sure to give it your best effort! Enjoy the journey! Here are just a few tips as you jump in: • Come prepared mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. • Shut out all distractions. • Start with prayer. Keep communication between you and God open and easy by confessing any unconfessed sin, accepting His forgiveness, and asking Him to speak to your heart through Bible study. • Take your time. Read all of the verses listed, listen for God’s voice. You may want to write in a journal as you go so you can track your spiritual progress and remember what God says to you.
