| Learn to study God's Word
yourself! Dig into this week's study: Isaiah 40:29-31 Print out your WordStudy Sheet. >>> See a sample lesson. >>> #1—Read it!
Carefully read the following passage:Isaiah 40:29-31 (NIV)
v. 29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. v. 30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; v. 31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Note: There are several words highlighted this week! See the Write It! section, below.
#2—Investigate it!
#3—Write it!
On your WordStudy
Sheet, tell in your own words what you think each verse means. Use the information you gathered above to guide you as you think through each verse. Descibe any new understanding of the story you get from learning the background information.
Note: Several words from this week and last week's studies are repeated. List the repeated words and note the differences in meaning. In each verse, note who the words are applied to. Why do you think the same words are used repeatedly? Record your thoughts.
#4—Apply it!
Now that you have an idea what the verses are saying, how could they apply to you? On your WordStudy Sheet write what you think each verse could mean in your life. Is there something you should do? Or something you need to change? Get "up-close-and-personal" as you think about it! #5—Pray!
Ask God to help you do the things you learned about in today's study. Be specific! When we pray specifically, God answers specifically!
#6—Share it!
Share your study with your parents or your teacher
and get their feedback on your conclusions.Scripture taken from the HOLY BIBLE, NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION®. Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 International Bible Society. Used by permission of Zondervan. All rights reserved. |
