The Lord has blessed me with reading through His Word for many years...it all began with a daily devotional from Our Daily Bread which had an Old Testament and a New Testament chapter(s) to read daily. From there the Lord moved me into the Chronological Bible - for 5 years - which led to posts of my discoveries (shared in a forum during 2010). Last year I used the 52 Weeks plan, this year, well, I am not sure. :-D
I have decided to *capture* my 2010 posts and re-run them here in an effort to archive them should the original site no longer be available. I will detail the day and year in the Post Title.
I have inquired and was guided to the information below for resources on reading through the Bible...if you are currently using a program that is not listed, please share. If you are not, or have never read through the Bible, may I encourage you to do so? It has been an enormous blessing in my life, giving me insight and a deeper walk with the Lord. There is a multitude of rich marrow to be sucked from the Word of God, each and every book has gleanings to be gathered. Be encouraged to read...to encourage others to hide the Word of God in their hearts.
Father, help us, Your children to read Your Word that we might know You more intimately...help us to be diligent to study to show ourselves approved and to exhort our brethren.

Many Christians take the beginning of a new year to evaluate their Bible reading habits, and then change or begin a Bible reading plan.
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. — Psalm 119:105
For your convenience, we’ve compiled a list of Bible reading plans for you to choose from. Maybe this year you will read more of the Bible each day.
