“It is absolutely necessary for happiness in the Lord to continue, for the scriptures to be read regularly. We should read the scriptures specifically and regularly sequentially and not choose one chapter here and another there. If we do this, we’ll always be spiritual Dwarves, I’m telling you with affection. For the first four years after my conversion, I made no progress because I neglected the Bible. But when I read the whole Bible regularly, I immediately progressed. Then my peace and joy continued more and more and more. I’ve been doing this for 47 years. I’ve read the Bible completes about 100 times and I still find it stimulating. Then my peace and joy grew more and more. ? (DLMoody)
2018 is coming and, as usual, we are planning what we will do next year, however, as John Piper points out in A New Year’s Plea: Plan!, we need to plan for both our physical and spiritual needs. encourage him to read the Bible over the next year.
- Reflecting.
- We’re bringing something new this year.
- We will provide two types of reading plan: biblical and prayer.
- Reading the Bible will focus more on reading larger parts of the scriptures.
- Seeking to read the entire Bible or part of it during a Prayer Reading is meant to guide and enrich prayer.
- So it focuses on daily reading of the psalm book and other scriptures.
The purpose is not only to read the chosen passage, but to reflect on it and make it your own, to use it as the basis of your personal prayer to God, in this way it will help you acquire a vocabulary of biblical prayer. and pray in your own God-inspired words.
If you have any questions about how to do this, please refer to these two articles:
To think that God inspired prayers is an incredible thing. God not only inspired what He wanted to tell us, but also what we should tell Him. Don’t you know what to ask?Well, your Father inspired a complete book called Psalms full of different types of prayers (praises, thanksgivings, du’aa’, confessions). So learn to pray from the Bible itself and read one (6th) or two (quarterly) psalms a day. And do your prayer.
I suggest you invest 10 minutes of your day in this daily devotion. But if you ever lose it, the plan requires 25 days of reading per month so you can regain your devotion.
I developed this plan so that we can learn to pray not only with the Psalms, but also with other prayers from the Bible. I have selected 50 of the main prayers or excerpts about prayer, from Abraham’s intercession through Sodom to simple ones. Maranatha, see Lord Jesus!?, Going through Paul’s prayers (very important to know what to pray for each other, as DA Carson teaches in the excellent book A Call to Spiritual Reform). I have also strategically adjusted 28 passages that teach prayer and put them in parentheses next to the main sentence to teach and reinforce some of that sentence (I suggest you read the additional text first). I suggest you invest 10 minutes of your day in this daily devotion.
I suggest you spend 10 minutes of your day on this daily devotion, but if you ever miss something, the plan has 25 days of reading a month so you can get your devotion back.
We separated 8 reading plans from the Bible and listed them here in order of difficulty. If you are a new convert, consider participating in the “Reading Plan for New Converts” as it is only 30 days old and will provide you with an overview of the Bible. Then think about reading the New Testament in 6 months with the “New Testament Reading Plan” or a year with the “New Testament Reading Plan 5-5”. If you are already a more mature Christian in the faith, but have trouble maintaining the habit of reading, consider the “Daily Bible Reading Plan for Disciples,” which includes pauses and days of reflection. If you are already a mature Christian in the faith with a habit of reading regularly, consider the other plans.
With this plan developed by Pastor Garret Kell, in 30 days, with a daily reading, you will get an overview of the history of the Bible. Example: Day 1? Genesis 1. 1?3. 19?The Creation and Fall of Humanity
This plan is ideal for disciplicing new converts by providing an opportunity to explain a brief overview of biblical history and doctrines. Of course, there are many left, but it’s a great place to start. It’ll take you 7 to 10 years, minutes to read daily.
With this plan prepared by the Journal of Discipleship, within one year you will read the full NT once, with 1 daily reading of 5 minutes, 5 times per week, with breaks and in a sequence interspersed with New Testament books. 4: Mc 16; AT 1; At 2 a. m. ; To3; Four o’clock.
This plan is ideal for those just getting started. With only 5 minutes and only 5 times a week, you can read all the NT. Gospels are distributed in reading, which makes it less repetitive at first.
With this modified ESV biblical outreach plan, in six months you will read the entire NT once, with 1 daily reading, no pause and in a canonical sequence of books. Example: Day 1? Mt 1?2.
This plan is ideal for those who are just getting started and want more than just the 5-5 plan. It will take you between 5 and 7 minutes to do your daily reading.
Prepared by Mark Bogart and Peter Mayberry for the Discipleship Journal, in a year you will read the full Bible once, with 2 daily readings, a pause and an intertwined sequence of Bible books. Example: Day 1? Gn 1-2; Sl 1 Day 22? Mc 1-3; Come out 17.
This plan is my favorite for three advantages: it has only 25 days of reading per month (i. e. , if you missed a day, it’s easier to recover), you have one book at a time (it’s confusing to read 4 portions of different places per day) and you have a devotional reading in Psalms or Proverbs or Isaiah, the weaknesses of this plan are that if you’re a regular reader , you’ll be on average 5 days a month unread to do. different readings, I recommend taking one in the morning and one in the evening. It will take you between 7 and 10 minutes to read daily.
The full reading plan will do just that, it will help you read the Bible, with daily reading and without pause, from the first page to the last page following our current Bibles. Example: Day 1? Genesis 1-3.
The strength of this plan is that you will follow the order of our modern Bibles and get a better idea of the structure and history of each Bible book. On the other hand, you may find it difficult to stay long in a literary style of the Bible. Bible or to have an impact on Leviticus (it’s as inspired as the Psalms, okay?) It will take you between 10 and 15 minutes to read it every day.
With this plan drawn up by the Ministry of Return to the Bible, you will read in a year, with daily reading and without pause, the entire Bible in chronological order. Example: Day 165?1Re 8, 2Cr 5 Day 166?2Cr 6 ?7, Exit 136.
The strength of this plan is that you will have a better idea of the history of redemption, but at the expense of the literary cohesion of each biblical book. Remember, God did not inspire a systematic theology or a modern historical book. The Bible has different literary genres and must be understood in its own structure and beauty; However, it is always good to know when a certain psalm was written or when Isaiah lived and prophesied; it will take you between 10 and 15 minutes to read it daily.
With this classic plan drawn up by Robert Murray M?Cheyne you will read in a year 1x THE AT and 2x the Psalms and the NT, in 4 different daily readings in an intertwined sequence of the books of the Bible. Example: Day 1? Gen 1; Mt 1; Ed 1; ONE.
This plan is ideal for those who like to read from different parts of the Bible, between AT and NT and are already used to reading the Bible regularly. The weakness of this plan is that if you want to read everything at the same time, It can be confusing to keep the literary and historical progress of 4 Books of the Bible at the same time, so I suggest dividing the reading into 4 moments during the day (morning, lunch, afternoon, night). 20 minutes to read daily.
D. A. Carson changed Mr. Carson’s plan: Cheyne for two years. Therefore, in two years, you will read 1x the Old Testament and 2x the Psalms and the NT, in 2 different daily readings in an intertwined sequence of Bible books. Example: Day 1? Gen 1; Mt 1.
This plan is ideal for those who like to combine TA and NT and will embark on a 2-year plan. The weakness of this plan is that if you’re going to read everything at the same time, it can be confusing to keep the literary. and the historical progress of 2 Books of the Bible at the same time. It will take you between 7 and 10 minutes to read them daily.
The YouVersion Bible app also has several other bible reading plans, if you use an app to read.
