Here is the Bible
reading plan we are following at our house this year. Each day we read three
Old Testament chapters in successive order (Genesis through Malachi), and one
New Testament chapter in successive order (Matthew through Revelation). Each
combined reading of four chapters takes about 12-15 minutes. We are following
this plan together, taking turns reading the chapters aloud as we go.
We like this approach
for several reasons.
For one thing, we
begin reading from both testaments from the start. We do not wait until we
finish the Old Testament before we start the New Testament.
We complete our Bible reading
way before the year ends. We finish the New Testament September 16 and the Old
Testament November 5. (By the way, 2020 is a Leap Year). If we get behind, we
have extra time to be sure we finish the Bible by the end of the year. If we
stay on schedule, we can reread and/or study more deeply favorite passages.
Of course, you could
start this plan a month late – in February – and still have time to spare later
in the year.
