A daily Bible reading plan is the first discipline to total life transformation. You Will Want To spend one-on-one time getting to know Him who created everything that has ever been created!
Any Bible reading plan that works for you is a good reading plan. Just like anything worth doing, it will take discipline. But it should be something you enjoy that doesn’t often feel like a chore.
My daily Bible reading plan changes. Right now, I am reading a Proverb a day and a chapter or so in the Gospels.
This will get me through the entire Bible in less than a year. This is a discipline and an absolute joy. Just like getting on the treadmill every day, sometimes it is slow to get started. Sometimes, I don’t feel like doing either. That is why we must know why we are doing what we are doing and begin with the destination in mind.
God gives us the desires of our hearts (Psalm 37:4). I asked Him to give me a hunger and thirst to know Him more and for His righteousness (Matthew 5:6). He is faithful (1 Corinthians 1:9)!
Jesus says in John 17:3 that life eternal is knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent. Philemon 1:6 tells us to make our faith effectual by acknowledging every good thing that is in you in Christ Jesus. Both of these verses contain a form of the word knowledge. Hosea 4:6 begins with “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” We are under a better covenant now. God promises to never leave us nor forsake us. But, if we don’t get to know Him now, how can we really look forward to spending all of eternity with Him?
Another Bible Reading Plan:
The theme running through today’s Bible reading is God saying, “You are welcome to join us!” He said the foreigners were welcome to join the Israelites in Numbers 9:14. In Psalm 61, it is clear that lying, murdering, adulterers like King David are welcome to join us. Proverbs 6 says that even those committing the “things God hates” are welcome to join us. Isaiah 20 reveals some butts! And finally, Acts 18 tells us that God’s people are blessed financially…
