Suggested Bible Reading For 2013

If you truely want to read the Bible more this year, you have to make it happen. Plan a time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know Him better. He will show you His will for your life and give you power to perform it.

Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom: teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to The Lord.

So, where do you begin? Here are some suggestions.

• Read five of the Psalms daily (praising God) and one chapter of Proverbs (spiritual wisdom).
• If you want to read through the Bible in a year, read three chapters a day, alternating between the Old and New Testaments.
• Read the New Testament repeatedly.
• If you like excitement, see how God intervenes with the Children of Israel from the Books of Joshua, 1st and 2nd Samuel, and 1st and 2nd Kings.
• Don't allow books about the Bible to replace scripture reading.
• God can minister to you anywhere in His Word. My two favorite books are John and Romans.
• Find what works for you. Read what you can, and you will be blessed.
