What are your plans for this summer? More specifically, what are you plans for your Bible reading this summer?
May I suggest reading through the entire New Testament?
There are 260 chapters in the New Testament and 92 days in June, July, and August combined. Not including Sundays (there’s 13 of those), and setting aside four “Catch-Up” days, you could read through the whole New Testament in just 75-days by reading a little over 3 chapters a day.
The best actors are those who disappear into the character they playing—think Meryl Streep or Daniel Day-Lewis. If you’re watching a movie and the main thing you see is not the character but the actor, that’s a problem. The same type of thing can be said for Bible reading plans.
The best Bible reading plans are those that disappear into the actual reading after a bit. The difference, however, between actors and reading plans is that if the actor doesn’t disappear into the character, it’s the actor’s fault; but, if the Bible reading plan doesn’t disappear into the actual Bible reading, it’s the reader’s fault.
