Yesterday I mentioned a guy who had a bible reading plan. It was to read one verse a day. It seemed like a pretty good thing to me that the guy had a plan and was working it.
I was curious enough about it to run a couple of numbers to see how long it would take to get through the bible by reading at that rate.
There are more than 31,000 verses in the bible, so I calculated that at 365 verses per year it would take a little over 85 years to read through the whole book, one verse per day. So if I did want to read the whole bible I would have to start when I was young – probably no older than ten – and I would hope that medical and health technologies advanced rapidly enough that I lived ninety-five years. At which point I would get to Revelation 22.

I heard about a guy whose personal bible reading plan was to read one verse a day.
One of the Medicine Hat Joe Bible Readers’ Principles is that one verse a day is better than no verses a day. Way better; hands down better. The difference between one verse a day and no verses a day is monumental. By contrast, the difference between one verse a day and, let’s say ten verses a day, or three chapters a day is not that big.
Anyway,  I’ve already made my decision to read some verses versus no verses. Now here’s the less important question to ask: how many verses am I going to read? Will I read one or more than one?
