I read a Gospel, then one of the OT books, then one of the letters, then something different from the OT (history, prophecy or poetry). I think it's important to have a "balanced diet", and not just stick to your favourite bits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also read certain subject matter anywhere in Scripture. Since I teach Sunday School I also read the planned lesson text. I also read and prepare my sermon text for preaching on Sunday morning. I love to read my Bible on my phone during the day also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously Here are some good plans: [1] I think the One-Year Bible is good: a chapter from the Old, a chapter from the New, a Psalm, and a Proverb. [2] The Chronological Bible is great! I really like that one. [3] For me, since I have taught the Bible for many, many years - I like to read a book at a time [sometimes 2-3 books at a time = 2-4 chapters a day]. Two chapters a day = you can read the Bible in 2 years Four chapters a day = you can read the Bible in 1 year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen!MOST important Every year I start a One Year plan - usually my church gives one out and I've done the You Version app one,that one is laid out quite nicely with reminders I also like the Daily Scripture verse from Bible Gateway and usually start there ,reading the full Chapter and wherever I might go from there But when I wake up after some Praising,prayer & communion I read George's Worthy Brief and see where that might Lead to.... It might sound like alot but it's not at all,I used to start 3am & read for many hours .....the Brief,Bible gateway & One Year plan reading is really keeping me from being " too busy" to read God's Word,it's my " must do" routine which helps but really,it's not enough -its not the quantity but the quality,seeking to be near Him is the difference ,I'm way too pre-occupied as of late!Prayers would be appreciated ❤️ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the Bible according to what I want to learn from it at any given time. For example, I just finished reading Ezekiel and am now reading John. I read whatever part the Holy Spirit directs me to read. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats where the brain is mentally off, like you are on drugs, incapable of thinking clearly. So I was not able to read the bible steadily. I got out of the habit during that time and for a year after all of that too as I recovered and had to start getting back into the habit again. I read through the bible once every 15 months and also "random" passages that pertain to a situation or what I just feel like reading. For instance, I love to read the psalms and will often read one of them at the end of the day. Shameless plug: I kept omegamans tradition of a year long bible reading plan. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
