A question that I hear a lot is, “Which Bible reading plan is best for me?”

Honestly, I love hearing this question because it comes from people who are ready to take the next step in their own spiritual growth. There comes a point that we begin to realize that being spiritually fed at church on a Sunday morning or Wednesday evening isn’t enough for our souls to be filled.

Our souls, like our bodies, need to be fed in order to grow. If we are not feeding our souls by reading the Bible and practicing spiritual disciplines then we will begin to look for fulfillment in other areas (relationships, sins, identity) which leave us feeling empty.

The great news is that, according to a new Lifeway study, people who read the Bible consistently are those who have a Bible reading plan in place to guide them each day.

That means that if you want to restart or begin reading the Bible for the first time, it would serve you well to find a Bible reading plan that you can follow.

It makes sense because we need plans to help us

Lose weight

It has never been easier to access the Bible and follow a Bible reading plan. Download the Bible App, select a reading plan, and schedule the plan to send you reminders each day — it is that simple.

You can use your bible if you prefer reading and underlining there but use the Bible app to keep you plan.

With all of the options on the app it can be confusing to know which plan is right for you.

My advice is to simply begin reading the Bible – regardless of which plan it is.

“Failing to plan is planning to fail” also applies to our spiritual growth.

Some plans are 3 days long. Others cover the entire Bible in 3 years. Some instruct you to read one verse per day while others will have you read the entire Bible in 90 days.

If you aren’t in the habit of reading the Bible I would suggest that you start off slowly – reading a chapter or so per day. Find what fits for you and start somewhere. As you develop this discipline your affections and spiritual fire will be stoked and you will begin to dive deeper into Scripture each day.

Typically I will read my Bible, journal my prayers (more posts to come on journaling), and jot down some thoughts about the passage I read.The Bible reading plans listed below are wonderful resources for reading God’s Word.
