Summer Bible Reading Plan

June 21, 2018

Happy first day of Summer!

Since Winter, I have been on the hunt for a new Bible reading plan.  I’ve had the same reading plan for about ten years now, and although I love it, I want to spruce up my devotion time.

As with any routine, the more you do it, the less of an impact it makes. That is also true for how you read and what you read in the Bible. If you read the same way or the same verses over and over, are you really building your knowledge? After a while, it becomes so routine, you don’t even pay attention to what you are reading because you already know what it says.  

Well, that was definitely the case for me. And since I am a sucker for routine, it’s been really hard to stray from what I’ve been doing. So let’s jump into my new Summer Bible Reading Plan.

  1. Read Through the Book of Proverbs

No, this is not new for me. I have done this for over 10 years. This one’s a keeper because every time I read a book of Proverbs, it’s like seeing something for the first time.

What to do? Simply read the chapter of Proverbs that corresponds with the day. Like today, read Proverbs 21 since it’s the 21st of June. If you are finding this on a different day, read whatever book matches that day’s date.

 

  1. Adorn Yourself With Christ Bible Study (from Bible.org)

In this study, the focus is on the book of 1st Timothy and Titus. Since I am using it as a devotional reading more than a Bible study, I will keep these questions in mind while reading rather than trying to keep up with the actual 19 lessons.

  • What does the passage say? (Observation: what’s actually there)
  • What does it mean? (Interpretation: the author’s intended meaning)
  • How does this apply to me today? (Application: making it personal)

The purpose of this study is to see how to adorn yourself with the very character of God so that your life displays the beliefs you claim to profess.

What to do? Read a chapter a week. Yes, read the same chapter each day for a week. This should take nine weeks total since there are nine chapters combined between both books. (This is based on a teacher’s Summer, not the actual 3 months of Summer.) Each time you read the chapter, ask yourself the three questions above and really applying it to your life.

 

  1. Nightly Praise

At night, I will read my daily chapters on Psalm and end with the Lord’s prayer.

What to do? Read the following verses on the corresponding days of the week.

  • Sunday – Psalm 113, 63, 23 and Matthew 6:9-13
  • Monday – Psalm 146, 63, 23, and Matthew 6:9-13
  • Tuesday – Psalm 147,63, 23, and Matthew 6:9-13
  • Wednesday – Psalm 148, 63, 23, and Matthew 6:9-13
  • Thursday – Psalm 149, 63, 23, and Matthew 6:9-13
  • Friday – Psalm 150, 63, 23, and Matthew 6:9-13
  • Saturday – Psalm 112, 63, 23, and Matthew 6:9-13

 

Remember, reading the Bible should not feel like a task, it should feel like spending quality time with God. If this Bible reading plan does not work for you, adjust it to fit your needs. Just don’t excuse yourself out of reading with fidelity.
