- Structured Readings - I think having a structured Bible reading schedule improves your chances of actually reading the Bible.
- Accountability - Ask your spouse, a family member, or a friend to join you and keep you accountable to 24 days of readings.
- Mornings - I've found I'm much more motivated to read and do my devotionals if I do it right away in the mornings.
- Make the Time - You just got to make the time for it. Can you wake up 30 minutes earlier to read the Bible. You probably could.
- Journal - Writing my thoughts down helps me to process the passage and then I can go back and look at what I thought about the passage.
Alright, enough talking... Here's the schedule.
