Bible Reading Plan Winter Year 3
OVERVIEW Congratulations on your decision to read the Bible! Bible Reading is one of the most enriching, time-tested pathways for growing in your relationship with God. New Hope’s Bible Reading Plan will take you through the entire Bible in less than three years. This pace allows us to slow down, meditate, and be a plan that we can all work through together amidst the busyness of life.
HOW IT WORKS We suggest that you begin with a moment of prayer, drawing yourself into an awareness of God’s presence, asking God to guide you in your reading. Read each passage, daily, if possible. Most people will read daily, however if necessary cover the chapters in the course of the week as it fits your schedule. Night Owl? Read the night before/for the next day. Close in Prayer, thanking God and asking for help to live according to the truths of His Word.
that will regularly work for you. Be as consistent as possible. Missing a reading makes it easier to miss the next. A good Study Bible can be helpful for you in your Bible reading. We recommend the NIV Study Bible or NLT Life Application Bible. If you have study notes, use the following method: read the text, read the note, and then read the text again. This will help you stay focused on the text rather than on the study notes. Talk with others about your readings. Do not let hard-to-understand things distract you from the things you clearly understand. Act on what you understand; ask questions about what you don’t. When (not “if,” WHEN!) you miss a reading or fall behind, catch-up methods include: skipping missed chapters, skimming missed chapters, or making up the missed chapters over time. Don’t let Satan discourage you from being strengthened by God’s Word!

Keep in mind the overarching theme of the good news of Jesus, the Savior and King Response: Your response to the reading, related to your Insight. If you believe the truth of your insight, what is your response to it? How will you live, see the world, feel, behave, act, or believe differently?
