Bible Reading Plan

I have been trying to read the bible through in a year doing the chronological plan and I was folling it well for a good amount of time. I must admit though, I found it a struggle to read straight through and I wasn't being fed the word properly. I wasn't in the best condition as I soon stopped absorbing what I was reading and mainly tried to achieve my goal more than learn from God's word.

Coming here to Cabo, I was introduced to a reading plan entirely different and everyone seemed to love this plan. I am going to finish reading the bible completely through this year, but this time I am picking up this reading plan and finding so much joy in opening up God's word every day. Maybe you might want to give it a try?

Sorry this is so long... Basically, you read one chapter in one book of each section per day. For example, if I'm just beginning this reading plan ,I read Genisis 1:1, Leviticus 1:1, Joshua 1:1 and so on. So you read 12 chapters a day because there are 12 sections. It probably takes 45 minutes each day, so you can always split it up however you want if you wish to read a shorter length of time. You will never repeat the plan the same because there are different amounts of chapters in each section. That's what makes it fun! I love this plan and maybe you might want to take it on as well!
