Bible Reading Plans for 2011

/ Dennis Griffith / Leave a comment

New Years Day has come and gone, and 2011 is trudging along.  You want to do some things different this year.  You’ve always wanted to read through the Bible, but you’ve never been quite sure how to do it.  Or, you have read through the Bible before but you are looking for a different approach.

If one of your Resolutions for 2011 is to make Bible reading a regular part of your daily disciplines, you are in luck (err, you are in Providence)!  It is not too late to get started. (It’s never too late.) There are several plans available from the publishers of the ESV.

Wisdom Wanted

I’ve been reading – and re-reading – through Proverbs the past several days.  I have no specific aim in doing this. I have just sensed I am lacking wisdom and perspective.

Billy Graham has said that, in addition to whatever else he was reading at the time, it was his pattern to read five Psalms and one chapter of Proverbs each day.  Then, at the beginning of each new month, he would begin again reading through the Psalms and Proverbs.  According to Graham: Psalms “teach me how to get along with God;” Proverbs “teach me how to get along with my fellow man.”

It sounds like sage counsel to me.
