Bible Reading Plans for the New Year

Time to plan for Devotional greatness in the New Year! Following a Bible Reading plan is a challenge for many people. Like many other areas of life, we are good at starting but struggle to finish our best-made devotional plans. It’s worth the struggle! God’s Word breathes life into my weary soul; it provides wisdom and direction, answers life’s deepest questions, and pierces the hearts of those I’m hoping to influence in a new direction. So, I hope you think about a Bible Reading goal for the New Year. Here are a few that I’ve greatly benefited from that might be a fit for you:

  1. The One Year Bible Reading Plan is a Whole Bible in 365 Days Plan. It is a great challenge to read the Bible all the way through in a year. It can be done in about 15 minutes per day. I’ve utilized the One Year Bible Reading Plan for years. Daily readings from the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs. And you actually go through Psalms twice. Breaking up the reading like this assures there’s always some meat and milk, even when reading through difficult books in the Old Testament. I’ll be following this plan again next year. Friend me on the Bible App, and let’s do it together. PDF Version Here.
  2. The Disciple Journal Bible Reading Plan from NAV Press – If you’d like to tackle the whole Bible but are unsure if you can do it daily. I understand. No commandment says, “Read the Bible every day or else.” This is a get-to, not a have-to kind of thing, with more benefits the more you read. But anyway, the DJ Bible Reading Plan is a 25-Day per month Plan. So you have 5 catch-up days every month, 60 for the year. I’ve followed this plan several times. If you can stick with daily or almost daily, you’ll finish before the end of the year and can do something different during the holidays. Get a PDF Version Here.
  3. The F260 Plan – Replicate Ministries has a great plan that covers its picks for the most important major themes in the Bible. It’s a 260-day plan, so 105 days to catch up. There’s also a suggested Scripture Memory Plan provided by Replicate. I’ve put them in the Bible Memory App HERE. Solid plan. I followed it a few years ago and greatly enjoyed it.

There are three of my favorite plans. What’s your plan for the New Year? What plans would you recommend to others?
