"All scripture is inspired of God." —2 Tm 3:16

The Lord calls us to meditate on His word and recite it day and night (Ps 1:2; Jos 1:8). We are to study it daily (Acts 17:11). Consequently, it is a good practice to read the whole Bible each year. The following system may be helpful. One advantage of this system is that it is in the spirit of the liturgical year.

Advent Read Isaiah (about 3 chapters a day)	Christmas Season Read the Psalms (about 8-10 psalms a day)
Between Christmas Season and Lent Read: Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Wisdom, and Sirach (4 to 5 chapters a day)	Lent Read: Jeremiah, Lamentations, Baruch, Ezekiel, Daniel and the 12 minor prophets (about 4 chapters a day)
Easter Season Read the whole New Testament (during the Easter octave read Acts of the Apostles afterwards continue with Matthew to Revelation) (about 5 chapters a day)	The Day after Pentecost to the Day before Advent Read from Genesis through Job (possibly conclude the church year by reading the Gospels a second time) ( 4 to 5 chapters a day)

By reading about 3 to 5 chapters a day, we can read the whole Bible in one year. I have never seen anyone do this who wasn't amazingly blessed by the Lord. Pray for the strength of the Holy Spirit and begin.
