Bible Reading Tip #2 : Get A Plan, and Execute

Finding a plan and running with it will help you in the development of the discipline of reading your bible. 19149_Quiet_Time b

Life has taught me that if you want to accomplish something, get a plan together.  This often can be hard for many, but to help with the disciple of reading the bible, a plan is often a great tool.  It is like following the GPS; it may not be the most efficient, but it will get you reading.

Executing is also just as important. Just because you have a GPS, you still have to drive.  This is often the hardest part of any plan, actually walking it and adjusting as needed.

Where to get a plan?

There are so many good resources and plans available.  Some printed bibles today even come with bible reading plans in the back.  If you are using an app like Olive tree or Youversion, there are more plans available then you have time for.  You can also search bible reading plans and go from there.

You can also create your own.  Pick a book and break it down over a calendar and start checking off as you read.  You could use your calendar on your phone and schedule the reading.

Many times I just read one chapter a day and have a book mark and pick up where I left off last time.
