Today’s the day…I’m printing out my Bible reading plan and I’ve got a new journaling Bible ready to go. ✍️ I’m always amazed at what I learn by reading the Bible in a year, but I also always feel intimidated to start. As much as I learn, there are days when it’s hard to keep going. 🧗♀️However, I’ve really liked this 5 day a week plan (link is in my bio). Anyone want to join me????🙋♀️
.
Here are some reasons I like it so much:
.
5-Day Format
I like the 5-day format for a variety of reasons. It gives you a little more flexibility on how you read and makes it easier to catch up if you get a few days behind. I typically use Saturday to read the New Testament sections and then have Sunday as a free day, to read and reflect upon whatever passage I choose. Overall, I really enjoy the flexibility that the 5-day format provides for my week.

Psuedo-Chronological
In this 5-day plan, the Old Testament is arranged chronologically, and there is a New Testament reading every day. I appreciated the way they grouped the New Testament readings. The gospels are not in chronological order, but spaced throughout the year, one for each season. Basically, I love how it’s all laid out. It gives you the benefit of the chronological ordering for the OT alongside an engaging plan for the New Testament. Truly, I haven’t read a plan that I like better.📚

You Read Your Own Bible
In past years, I’ve used Bibles that apportion the texts out for me. It makes it simple to just open and read without a lot of flipping between texts. However, I find this plan preferable because it allows me to read through the Bible in my own Bible. .
Ease of Use
The plan is organized in a 52-week format. While you can begin it in January, you can also begin in March or June. It’s easy to print up multiple copies and have them in whatever Bibles you have around the house. Since it’s just piece of paper, it’s travel friendly for work trips and vacations.
