One of the most common questions we receive is "How do I know what to read in The Bible?"
We understand.
Whether you are new to the study of God's Word or not, you likely will find yourself in seasons of not knowing what to read.
The good news is that there are many ways to approach developing or selecting a reading plan. Most important is being intentional to open your Bible.
Note that we said, "developing or selecting a reading plan." You may choose to chart your own course, or you may enjoy selecting one that is already prepared. Whichever you choose, invite God to guide your decision.
Three ideas to help you develop your own plan:
-Consider reading a book of the Bible that you haven't read before or haven't explored often. Open your Bible to the table of contents and choose a book. Find out how many chapters (or verses) are in the book. Divide the reading into manageable portions. This may mean a chapter a day, but it could also be a verse a day. Move at your pace. There may be days that you cannot stop reading and other days that you find yourself needing to read the same verse over and over.
-Read the chapter of Proverbs that corresponds with the day of the month. There are 31 chapters in Proverbs. Miss a day?
It's ok. Keep going!
-Consider a bible character that you would like to learn from or know more about.
Search for references about this person and then read the passages in context over time.
-Use the YouVersion Bible Reading App to choose a plan.
There are many different topics and the length of each plan varies.
This app is free and helps you track your progress.
Today's action plan:
Read Psalm 119:145-152 and write a prayer inviting God to guide you in your planning.
