2 MORE BIBLE READING APPROACHES …. Here’s two more Bible reading approaches that I’ve found useful. Hopefully your will find one or both beneficial. APPROACH #1: Read the Bible passage by passage. Having a Bible that is divided into subheadings is best for this approach. Select one passage bookend by a subheading at the top and bottom. Read this passage several times at one sitting. Then spend a few minutes thinking about what it says, how it might apply to your life, and what you are suppose to do with what God has shown you. APPROACH #2: Read the Bible one chapter at a time. Read one chapter 2-3 during one sitting. Then spend a few minutes thinking about what it says, how it might apply to your life, and what you are suppose to do with what God has shown you. Personally, I don’t use one Bible reading approach all the time. I prefer to mix them up. For me, I find if I stay with one approach for an extended period of time it turns into a “I have to do my prescribed Bible reading so I can check it off the list.” It gets to the point where I don’t get much out of it except to check the box that I did it. By mixing up my Bible reading between several different approaches I seem to stay more engaged. Perhaps give these two approaches a try and see how it goes for you.
