I've posted a few times about plans I've used for reading the Bible in a year. If you have never read through the whole Bible I encourage you to make that a goal.
Over the years I have used several different plans and in 2024 I used a plan that went through just the New Testament in a year. It was great to take it much slower, some days only reading a few verses. This year I'm once again reading the whole Bible.
Back in 2020 I chose the Historical Sequence plan on Youversion and have decided to once again use that plan. This plan is split into 12 parts, which feels nice to complete a section each month. It's much more reading than the New Testament one I just finished but it will be good to make it through the whole Bible again.
Whatever plan you choose, whether a New Testament, Old Testament, full Bible or another plan. The most important thing is to be in God's Word each day. We so often ask for God's leading but then leave the "map" unread.
I read somewhere that only 5% of Christians have read through the whole Bible even once. That sounds almost unbelievable, but I think it's probably true.
ReplyDeleteThat historical sequence plan sounds really, really good! I like the idea that it is split into 12 parts. I've tried a number of different reading plans over the years, but my favorite way of reading through the Bible is to use a one-year Bible. My very favorite is the Daily Walk Bible because it has wonderful background information and ideas for applying each day's reading. I think it may be out of print, sadly. This year I'm using a one-year chronological Bible.
