One-Year Bible Reading Plan

Follow a simple bible reading plan to read through Scripture in one year. Get a daily schedule, tips to stay consistent, and grace for the days you miss.

“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”

— Matthew 4:4

A bible reading plan turns the goal of reading the whole Bible into a series of small, doable daily steps. Instead of feeling lost in sixty-six books, you simply read today's passages and trust the schedule to carry you through. Jesus said in Matthew 4:4 that we live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God, and a plan helps you feed on that word daily.

How a One-Year Plan Works

Most one-year plans assign three to four chapters a day, roughly fifteen to twenty minutes of reading. Some move straight through from Genesis to Revelation, while others blend an Old Testament passage, a New Testament passage, and a psalm or proverb each day for variety. Choose the rhythm that will keep you coming back.

  • Pick a start date and a consistent time, such as morning coffee or bedtime.
  • Read the day's passages slowly, noting one verse that stands out.
  • Mark your progress to build momentum and celebrate milestones.

Staying Consistent With Grace

Everyone misses days, and that is okay. The plan is a servant, not a master. If you fall behind, simply pick up where you are rather than trying to catch up on everything at once. Lamentations 3:23 reminds us that God's mercies are new every morning, so each day is a fresh start.

Read Better With a Companion

Reading alongside others keeps you accountable and makes the journey richer. A study Bible such as the NIV or ESV can clarify tricky passages as you go. At PraiseHim Club you can join a free reading group, share what you discover, and encourage one another all the way to Revelation 22.
