Chronological Bible Reading Ideas To Get You Reading The Word

By Anita Ortega


Reading the Bible can help a Christian know more about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the concepts of life and death, life now and life to come. However, not many people are accustomed to the habit of chronological Bible reading, leave alone having a yearly plan to read from Genesis all the way through Revelation. This leaves everyone with the question as to whether it is possible to read the whole book or not.

Always pray to God to give a passion for His word and fill you with the hunger to know more about whom He is and his plan for the world. Through studying His word, you get to understand His real nature and what He wants the world to be. Ask Him to guide you through your reading plan so that you do not waste time mixing his word with newspapers and novels in your library.

Reading the Bible from Genesis all the way through Revelation can be fun for real. The good thing is that it is the only inspiring book that there ever was and always will be. It contains the inspiring messages about life on earth and life to come. The word of God is the only channel through which you get to know more about Jesus, the Son of the Almighty.

Start by praying every morning when you wake up. You can spend an hour or two for devotion either alone or with your whole family or go to a nearby church if you live around one. Ask God to fill you with the zeal to read His word on a regular basis so that you get to know about Him.

Make it your habit to read the scriptures given to you during the service. There are instances where your pastor will ask you to take some scriptures and read the at home. This is helpful as it will enable you to not only build passion for Bible reading but also become a regular reader with an understanding o f the essence of the word of God.

Join a Bible studies class and become a full time member so that you train how to read the word of God. This class is different from the normal Sunday service in the sense that rather than the pastor feeding you with the Gospel of the Kingdom of heaven, he or she teaches you how you can spend time with God by reading his word and praying to Him when at home, workstation or office.

Take time to read a scripture every morning before you leave for work and every night before going to bed. Pray before you read the word, as this will inspire you to get an understanding of what you read, especially its spiritual interpretation. Pray when you finish reading as this is an important way to asking God to let his word wok in you.

Buy a bible study guide from the local bookstore. This book has a good yearly reading plan that can aid you read Genesis to Revelation. You need a year to read the entire book.
