One Year Through The Bible Reading Plan

• By reading from four separate places in the Scripture every day, you shuld be able to better grasp the unity of theScriptures, as well as enjoy the variety of seeing four different viewpoints.

• You can begin at any point of the year.

• To prevent the frustration of falling behind, which most of us tend to do when following a Bible reading plan, each month of this plan gives you only twenty-five readings. Since you'll have several "free days" each month, you could set aside Sundays to either not read at all or to catch up on any readings you may have missed in the past week.
If you finish the month's readings by the twenty-fifth, you could use the final days of the month to study the passages that challenged or intrigued you.

• If reading through the entire Bible in one year looms as too large a task, you can alter the plan to meet your needs. For example, you could read the gospels and the wisdom books this year, and the other two categories next year.

• In the year ahead, ask God each day to speak directly to you from the Scripture portions you read. Be expectant, and let your continual exposure to God's Word reshape your attitudes and behavior as you gain a better understanding of every part of His written testimony to us.

Applying God's Word To Your Life

Ask these questions of each Bible passage you read. They will guide you in meditating upon God's Word. Write your answers in a notebook you keep especially for this purpose.
1. Is there a command for me to obey?
2. Is there a promise to claim?
3. Is there an example to follow?
4. Is there a sin to avoid or confess?
5. Is there a reason for thanksgiving or praise?
6. What new insights does this passage give me into:
        The nature of God?
        The person and work of Jesus Christ?
        Myself?
        Others?

"How can we live a clean Life? By carefully reading the map of your Word. I'm single-minded in pursuit of you; don't let me miss the road signs you've posted. I've banked your promises in the vault of my heart so I won't sin myself bankrupt. Be blessed, God; train me in your ways of wise living." Psalm 119
