2021 starts tomorrow! Let’s read through the Bible together. Reading the entire Bible in a year is not a requirement, by any means, but it is fun to do from time to time. I haven’t done it in several years, but when I have done it, I’ve used the Discipleship Journal Bible Reading Plan, now available for download and printing.

As the introduction (above) explains, the plan is designed for success:

• Only 25 readings per month, so there is built-in slack.
• Reading from four places ensures that there is always something “interesting” to read.
• Three of the four readings are short so it’s easy to catch up if you happen to get behind.

I recommend that after you read, you pick one verse or thought from your reading and use it to meditate as part of your daily time with God. This journal, which teaches “Read, Reflect, Respond, Record” may help.

I’m anticipating that most of next year’s blogs will come from these readings. Join me! Join the adventure, and let’s see what God has to say to us.

Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not disregard it. Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. For those who find me find life and receive favor from the LORD. (Proverbs 8.33 – 35, NIV)

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3.16 – 17, NIV)
