If you are like me, that is a lot of reading. It takes about thirty minutes a day and you must read about five to six chapters a day. Many people love this method of reading the Bible. You will discover several reading plans will help you read through the Bible in one year. The Book Order plan takes you through each book of the Bible a few chapters at a time. These are my favorite reading plans because they allow us to start at the beginning and read the Bible as it should be read: in context! I’m not against the other types of reading plans, but I like to read an entire book of the Bible at a time to get the whole picture. Then there are the types of Bible reading plans that focus more reading through the Bible. Those Bible reading plans will focus on certain places in the Bible.
Maybe you want to read about King David, Joseph, or the disciples. Other Bible reading plans will take you through various characters in the Bible. These reading plans will take you all over the Bible. If you have trouble staying on track, there’s even a Stay-on-Track Plan and The Busy-Life Plan! There’s something for everyone. Here are some example plan ideas listed at that link: And each day we read, we find the strength we need for that day. This power is not found in ourselves, but God. As we read, we will discover the power to live this Christian life. But when I’m tired and drained of strength, that’s when I need God’s word the most. So how do we move back to God? We read His word! Do you want to know the mind of God? Read the Bible! Do you want to feel like God is closer? Read the Bible! God’s presence is in His Word, and when we read it daily, we found that we can remember who He is.ĭo you feel yourself tired and irritable? Read the Bible! I often use weariness as an excuse not to read my Bible. When we feel far from God, it is not Him who moves, but us. Although we could name a hundred reasons to read the Bible, I pray these four things will be a reminder of why we should daily read God’s Word. Why do you read your Bible? Before we even dive into a reading plan, it is vital we evaluate why we would even want to read God’s word.
Whether it's been five days, five years, or fifty years, a daily habit of reading the Bible is incredibly important. In fact, there is power in reading God’s word! The daily act of getting into God’s Word is so important for every Christian, no matter how long they have walked with God. There is nothing wrong with just reading. When it comes to Bible reading you can just read. It is ok to just sit with your Bible and say, Lord I need you this year. You don’t have to have an agenda. Just know you don’t have to have big plans or grand dreams. In case you were wondering, limping into the new year is ok.
