Why a Bible Reading Plan?

"This plan is a tool to simply encourage you to spend some time on a daily basis in God’s Word. I have found that establishing that daily habit blesses my life in so many different ways and I am confident it will bless yours. Each day in this plan has one chapter to read. Most chapters can be read in less than five minutes easily. Over the course of the year, we will make our way through several books of the Bible. Each day you will also find a specific verse to focus on and a principle based on the Scripture to think about for life application. You can do this! It’s not complicated and it will enrich you as you go because it is the Living Word of God. I will be praying that God speaks to you in many ways as you journey through His Word through this year."
