How to Use This Plan

Consistency matters more than perfection. If you miss a day, simply continue where you left off rather than attempting to catch up through extended readings. The goal is sustainable Scripture engagement, not merely completing a schedule.

Consider maintaining a journal to record insights, questions, and applications. Many find morning reading sets a godly tone for the day, though evening reflection suits others better. Discover what timing best facilitates your consistent engagement with God's Word.

Prayer should accompany reading. Ask the Holy Spirit for illumination, understanding, and application. Scripture study transforms when approached not merely as information gathering but as communion with the living God who speaks through His Word.
