It really is so important that we establish a habit to read the Bible every
day on our own. No matter how many messages we hear or how many spiritual
books we read, nothing can replace directly hearing from the Lord through His
word. Even something as simple as reading one chapter a day (which takes no
more than 5 to 10 minutes) will get you through the entire New Testament in
just under 9 months. Reading one chapter a day will get you through the
entire Bible in just three years and three months. That might seem slow, but
compare how long you’ve been a Christian, and consider how many times you
could have read through the New Testament or even the Bible if you had
developed this habit. I’m not at all saying this to discourage anyone, but
rather to encourage you that a little bit carried out consistently will go a
long way in a surprisingly short amount of time. The most important technique
for building consistency is to fix a regular time of day—every day—to read.
If you don’t establish this, then no reading plan will work. A good time for
you might be while you’re riding the metro to or from work each day, and on
days you don’t use the metro, to read for five minutes once you get home in
the evening. The important thing is to find an activity that you do every
single day, and then read the Bible during that time. (Reading before you go
to bed at night is not always a good idea, since it’s so easy to fall asleep
:-).
