One Year Bible Reading Plans Take an exciting step to let your roots grow down deep into Christ by committing to regularly read the Bible. Jesus reminds us: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Faithfully reading God’s word is essential to our growth as a disciple. Here are three daily Bible reading plans to check out. All are yearly plans. The first is the Read Scripture app from The Bible Project. It features a daily reading from the Old or New Testament, plus a Psalm every day, with occasional videos to help you understand the section of the Bible you are working through.
The second is a 5-day plan. A benefit of a 5-day plan (as opposed to a 7-day plan) is that there is less chance of falling far behind. At 5 days per week it is far more doable than at 7 days—there is always a chance to catch up. Also, it allows a day or two of reading something different for those who, for example, like to read and ponder the sermon text on a Sunday morning.
The third is a 7-day plan, having readings for each day of the week.
