There’s just something about a new, untouched calendar year before us that makes us want to lean into better habits—habits that makes us healthier, happier, and more connected to God.
If you’ve followed along with us last year for our Know His Word reading plan, you know that each year we choose to read the Bible in a different way. This year, we’re reading through the Bible chronologically for greater understanding and comprehension. This approach helps us to see how all 66 books of the Bible work to spotlight the one, true story of God’s great love for us and our redemption through Jesus.
Also, this year we’ll be starting a 3-year, Know His Word plan—perfect for women with busy lives! While this may seem long, it avoids the trap of biting off more than you can chew and feeling discouraged when you fall behind. (We’ve all been there!)
In 2023, we’re in it for the long haul. This plan focuses on the journey of reading through God’s Word and allows for more prayer and reflection.
Here are a few tips for building a habit of staying in the Word this year and beyond:
- Choose a specific time and place for your reading until your habit is well established.
- Don’t beat yourself up if you miss a few days! Simply set aside time to get cozy and get caught up.
- Read along with a close friend, and share what God is teaching each of you through the passages.
