BIBLE READING RECORD

This document is formatted for front and back of a 5.5 x 8.5 inch
page, which means it can be used as a bulletin insert, or hole-punched to
fit into many daily planners, journals, notebooks, etc.

The front page is for the Old Testament, the back is for the New.
Each book of the Bible is listed. Beside each is a set of numbers which
corresponds to the number of chapters for that book. For example, since
there are fifty chapters in Genesis, beside the word “Genesis” you’ll
find “1 2 3 4 5 . . . 50.” As you read each chapter, mark through it on
the Bible Reading Record.

Another option is to download the file to your phone, tablet, or


computer and delete or italicize chapters from this Bible Reading
Record as you read them. This will help you keep track of your
progress.

I recommend reading through the entire Bible once each year, and
perhaps the New Testament a second time. You can read all sixty-six
books of God’s Word in twelve months merely by reading three
chapters each day and five on the Lord’s Day. You can read the New
Testament in less than three months at this pace.

“My favorite plan involves reading in five places each day. I begin in
Genesis (the Law), Joshua (History), Job (Poetry), Isaiah (the
Prophets), and Matthew (the New Testament) and read an equal number
of chapters in each section. A variation of this plan is to read in three
places daily, starting in Genesis, Job, and Matthew, respectively. The
three sections are roughly the same in length, so you will finish them
all about the same time.

The great advantage of such a design is in its variety. Many who


intend to read straight through the Bible become confused in
Leviticus, discouraged in Numbers, and give up completely by
Deuteronomy. But when you are reading in more than one place each day,
it’s easier to keep up the momentum.” [From Donald S. Whitney,
Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life, Revised & Updated edition
(Colorado Springs: NavPress, 2014), page 29-30.]

Regardless of the plan you use or how long it takes you to read
through the Bible, I hope you’ll find this tool helpful for maintaining
consistency in daily Scripture reading.

Note: you may want to print only pages two and three of this file.

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for
correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete,
equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth,
but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may
be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For
then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will
have good success.
Joshua 1:8 ESV
