My Bible Reading Plan

For the last 8 years or so I’ve been reading through the entire Bible 1x per year.  I’ve used a variety of different reading plans along the way. This year I’ve adopted an extremely flexible reading plan that’s been a joy to use. This is what I do:

#1. Wake up early and make coffee

#2. Sip strong, dark coffee at a slow, steady pace

#3. Read 2-4 chapters of the Bible, choosing which chapters to read based on my curiosity

#4. Read the first few of my daily chapters fairly rapidly

#5. Somewhere along the way, when I come upon a chapter, paragraph, or verse that especially grips me, pause and engage my heart with that portion of the text–meditate on the text in such a way as to, as George Muller says, “have my soul happy in the Lord,” and let this lead into a time of prayer

#6. Cross off my 2-4 chapters on my Bible Reading Record
