When we open up the word of God, we welcome in a rush of spiritual power. As President Russell M. Nelson once said, “Something powerful happens when a child of God seeks to know more about Him and His Beloved Son. Nowhere are those truths taught more clearly and powerfully than in the Book of Mormon.”
Here are five kinds of power you can invite into your life through reading the scriptures.
1. Power to Discern
“And whoso treasureth up my word, shall not be deceived.” —Joseph Smith—Matthew 1:37
2. Power to Heal What is Broken
“We can learn much from the scriptures about how our Savior, Jesus Christ, will help us successfully navigate the things in our lives that are broken.” —Sister Amy A. Wright
3. Power to Remain Faithful
“We cannot underestimate the significance of sacred scriptures both in conversions and in remaining faithful in the gospel.” —Elder Quentin L. Cook
4. Power to Have Hope
“For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.” —Romans 15:4
5. Power to Face Our Unexpected Difficulties
“As we feast on the words of Christ daily, the words of Christ will tell us how to respond to difficulties we never thought we would face.” —President Russell M. Nelson
