Here’s a scriptural litany about the Word of God. I’ve written it for two voices with a congregational response, but it could be done by a single leader instead.
Litany on Scripture
One: Know this:
no prophecy found in Scripture
is a matter of the prophet’s own interpretation.
For prophecy has never been a product of human initiative,
but it comes when men and women are moved to speak
on behalf of God by the Holy Spirit.
Two: For all Scripture is God-breathed;
in its inspired voice, we hear useful teaching,
rebuke, correction, instruction, and training for a life that is right,
so that God’s people may be up to the task ahead
and have all they need to accomplish every good work.
One: You see, everything written in the days of old
was recorded to give us instructions for living.
We find encouragement through the Scriptures
and a call to perseverance that will produce hopeful living.
Two: For the Word of God is alive and moving;
sharper than a double-edged sword;
piercing the divide between soul and spirit, joints and marrow;
able to judge the thoughts and will of the heart.
All: Your Word is a lamp for my feet
and a light for my path.
Open my eyes to see
the wonderful truths in Your law.
Give me understanding,
that I may keep Your law,
and put it into practice with all my heart.
