PRINTABLE READING PLANS
TIPS FOR READING THE BIBLE
Begin with a realistic plan. If you can’t read for 30 minutes a day, don’t pick that plan.
Pick a time of day that works for you and stick to it.
Pray before you read and ask God to speak to you. “Open my eyes that I may see the wonderful things in Your law.”
Read with intention. What is God trying to speak to you through His word?
When you finish consider one thing that was memorable about what you read.
If you have time, journal about why that passage or thought stands our to you.
