Poll: Personal Bible reading
- Thread starter BobinKy
- Start date
I have a "Daily Devotional Bible" that's designed to take you through the Bible in one year.
Normally it covers 2-3 chapters in the OT, a portion of the Psalms & Proverbs, and a chapter (or part of one if it's a long chapter) of the NT
It also has a short devotion based on a passage that was covered in the daily readings.
Right now I'm on Jeremiah 41-42, Psalm 119:89-96, Proverbs 28:2 & 2 Timothy 1.

I read 49 chapters per day. Multiple paths. 26 ch. O.T.; 5 ch Ps; 18 ch. N.T.
This takes me through the O.T. once per month, and the N.T. twice per month.
I take notes of parralell passages and word occurences each read through.

Wow! Do you start in Genesis and read straight through?
Most of the time I study books, spending quite a bit of time working through the themes and the details in the text. While I read, I consider what I'm reading in the context of the book, then try to make connections to other biblical texts.
Currently, I'm working carefully through the Gospel of John for the first time in more than a decade. It coincides with my teaching through John in an adult Sunday School class, although I'm about 7-8 chapters ahead of the class at all times. It's going to take us a full year to get through John because the text is so rich and the class is digging deeply into it with lots of discussion and insightful questions.
Before the end of November, I am going to work through the synoptic gospels in a thematic study of Jesus and His practice of the spiritual disciplines as they are recorded there. My intention is to try to emulate what He did more effectively in my own life.

Though it takes more than the "year" race-course style, I read the Bible through in a different translation.
I spend my devotional time in texts in sermon prep since it takes about 20 hours to fully develop a sermon. So obviously those verses will get utmost attention during the weeks prior to preaching it.
When the children were younger and home we used devotional type booklets to assist them in "habitual" reading.
