Starting Daily Bible Reading with Easy Plan Options

Many Christians make New Year's resolutions to read more of the Bible each day.  Some even resolve to read the entire Bible in a year!  This is not as impossible of a goal as it may seem.  All that is required is a simple plan and the dedication to complete it.  Most of the plans listed below start with day/week one, which means you can start them at any time during the year.  However other plans, and some types of Bible studies or devotionals, may require you read specific passages on certain calendar dates. 

For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth. - Psalm 33:4

Other types of reading plans 

• If the whole Bible seems like too much for you, you might want to start by reading only the New Testament in 3 months or Old Testament over a year.  
• If you are a new Christian just wanting to get started, you might want to try a monthly or topical reading plan suggestion from Bible Study Printables or Kingdom Bloggers. 
• If you are a mature Christian wanting a more in-depth Bible study themes, check out the plans on Bible Study Together.
• If English is not your primary language, which most of the above plans are, check out Christianity.com for readings in additional languages or by preferred Bible translation. 

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: 
but the word of our God shall stand for ever. - Isaiah 40:8 (KJV)

As noted at the beginning of this post, most of the plans listed above start with day/week one, which means you can start them at any time during the year.  Even if the plan starts in a specific month, just start with the month that you are in and you still work back throughout the year.  So you can start any month!  You do not have to wait until January to begin your daily Bible reading plan.
