On January 1, 2020 I’ll start reading through. I don’t want to be slaved to one of the detailed prepackaged plans – even if I do know they’re helpful. Instead I’ll try to manage the reading-year using my own rough & ready list. My goal will be to read about 100 chapters per month.
There are 1189 chapters in the bible. Divide that by 12 months and that’s 99.08 chapters a month. The ball-park list below tells me what I should be reading each month. It’s close enough for my purposes.
January: Genesis 1 – Leviticus 10
February: Leviticus 11 – Joshua 24
March: Judges – I Kings
April: II Kings – Ezra
May: Nehemiah – Psalm 35
June: Psalm 36 – 150
July: Proverbs – Isaiah
August: Jeremiah – Ezekiel
September: Daniel – Malachi
October: Gospels – Acts 10
November: Acts 11 – Philemon
December: Hebrews – Revelation
I already know that I have a bit of concern about spending more than a month in the Psalms. So I might make some creative adjustments in this scheme. I’ll have to see how things play out.
