I know that at any given time and at at ever moment everybody is seeking something. For me I want that something to be God. Because God’s Word (the Bible) tells us that Jesus Christ is God, the Son and reveals God, the Father as the exact image of him (Colossians 1), I desire ever year to read what God has revealed about himself in the only book that reveals what is totally true and trustworthy about who God is and what he has and is doing in this world – And That Book is that Bible – a book we all must read. Here are some articles to help you plan your Bible Intake for 2016.
Resolved to Read the Bible by Desiring God Ministries
For those considering the journey, you may be surprised how doable it is. It takes about 70 hours to read the Bible from cover to cover. That’s less time than the average American spends in front of the television every month. In other words, if most people would exchange their TV time for Scripture reading, they’d finish reading the entire Bible in four weeks or less. If that sounds unworkable, consider this: In no more than fifteen minutes a day you can read through the Bible in less than a year’s time. (Don Whitney, Spiritual Disciplines, 29).

A Plan to Read the Bible Through in 2016 by Denny Burke
Christians need the Bible like humans need water. The Bible is our life-blood. The Lord Jesus plans to perfect His people by means of His word. That is why He prayed,“Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth” (John 17:17). Since the Bible is the word of God written, our progress in sanctification relies on our contact with the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments. Every Christian, therefore, should make it a priority to master this book.
Bible Reading Plans by Josh Bruce
Reading the Bible is about knowing God and growing to love Him in a more intimate manner each day. If you’re merely reading words on a page rather than seeing and experiencing God from the Bible, you’re missing the point. God isn’t going to grade us on our percentage of Bible reading at the end of the year. However, a disorganized reading plan will likewise minimize spiritual growth, and that’s one thing we seek to avoid in choosing a good plan. God wants His children to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him. What better way to accomplish this than by a good systematic Bible reading plan.
