Bible Reading Plans

It's January 1st and that means it's a great time to reflect on your Bible reading plans for 2014.  We thought it would be helpful if we compiled a list of reading plans offered by three different ministries. Take a look below and pray about how the Lord would have you study His Word in this new year.

Bible Gateway:

Bible Gateway offers three different Bible reading plans that they will send to your email daily:

- OT and NT in the NIV version, 365 days.  Readings sent daily to your email.
- OT and NT in the KJV version, 365 days.  Readings sent daily to your email.
- NT in the NIV version, 365 days.  Readings sent daily to your email.

Ligonier Ministries:

Ligionier Ministries, a ministry of RC Sproul, offers all the following Bible reading plans via PDF (plus more on their website):

- 365 days, each day of the week dedicated to a different genre of the Bible
- 5x5x5 plan - read through the NT in a year, Monday through Friday.
- chronological plan
- 4 readings plan - Psalms and  Wisdom Literature; Pentateuch and History of Israel; Chronicles and Prophets; and Gospel and Epistles.
- Historical plan - read through the Bible in the historical line-up.
- Straight through plan - read through the Bible starting at Genesis and finishing in Revelation.
- a Bible reading chart

ESV Bible:

The great thing about the ESV Bible website is that they offer their plans via email, mobile, RSS and more.  They have 12 different Bible reading plans, including these three:

- Chronological
- Daily Reading Plan - daily readings in OT, NT, and the Psalms
- Through the Bible in a year

We pray that as you read God's precious Word in 2014, that you will draw even closer to Him.  May you experience His presence and guidance now and always, girls, as you delve into the Bible!

    Thank you for sharing these! I was just going to do the same plan I did last year (the one found in Journal of Mercies) but maybe I'll change to one of these for a little bit different trip through the Bible this year.

    May the Lord open our hearts and minds this year as we read, study, and memorize His Word.

For over 11 years, Bloom! has existed to spur you on in your journey towards Biblical womanhood.  What started as a big dream in the hearts of three teen girls, turned into an international print magazine and then later turned into a thriving blog.  Our heart has been to go beyond the fluff and dig deep into God’s Word and into how to practically apply that to our daily lives.  If any good has come out of Bloom! , we know it is because God is the one who waters the seeds we plant ( 1 Cor. 3:7 ).  This journey of magazine and blog has spanned for over a decade and what a thrilling and beautiful one it has been.   God has deepened and widened our worldview.   He has given us a deeper understanding of His ways.   He’s brought me (Joanna) through some really hard times and pushed me to write despite the pain .   He’s shown me that although I am nowhere near perfect, He can still use me anyway. One thing He’s been teaching me recently is that sometimes, some chapters mus

Make sure to check out part 1  here !                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Want to make friends in a new country?  Be prepared.  This isn't always easy.  Sometimes you meet someone on the train and instantly, you're buddies.  Sometimes you try and try and nothing happens.  Many things factor in - you're a foreigner, you're different, your first language isn't the same as everyone else around you.  Not only all that but your perspective, worldview, and beliefs are almost guaranteed to be different.   Then there's the fact that you've been shaped by your own culture all these years, so yeah, cultural differences are big as well. All this...and I still live abroad.  Better yet, I  choose  this life!  Sure, there's been plenty of disappointments, confusions, misu

Tales from Taiwan #22

Dear Sisters, Thursday night while I was volunteering at the rescue home, I asked one of my boys, Liam* (name changed) how his summer was.  I expected him to smile and answer with all the fun things he had gotten to do.  Instead Liam sobered and said quietly that his dad had passed away.   The kids who live at this home are rescued from abusive, unhealthy or dangerous situations.  Some are orphans and some have family.  They rarely talk about the family they do have, usually because they've been extremely hurt by them.  But no matter what, I've found that family is still family and more than anything, that's what these kids long for - loving, healthy, safe families.   I told Liam I would be praying for him and his family.  He stopped, looked up at me and asked me if I really would pray for them.  After I reassured him that I really would, he smiled and said he would pray for his family too.  What a moment of beautiful, childlike faith!   Liam's simple "You sai
