🎵 Prompt Response: Read the Bible Every Day

What’s a promise you made to yourself that you’ve actually kept?
I’ve used one of those year-long studies that gives you a portion to read each day for 365 days for about four or five years now. But my total weeks in the Bible app by YouVersion show as 465. Wow, that’s around 9 years! I don’t think I realized it was that long, but I know it’s important to me, and I know it’s life-changing.
Often, I use the included audio to let it read to me. I try to prioritize it to be the first thing in each day—along with my first cup of coffee. Late at night, I might also do a short reading that includes one or two verses and a short devotion.
The last few years, I’ve enjoyed the lessons from The Bible Project with videos to give extra detail to the lessons. I recommend their website and suggest trying the different series’ they offer in addition to those for a year’s worth of reading. The four annual ones at Bible dot com are …
- One Story that Leads to Jesus (358 Days)
- From the Beginning to the Amen (365 Days)
- Old Testament in a Year (365 Days)
- New Testament in a Year (365 Days)
This should get you prepared to start now or on January 1st if you’re a traditionalist like me. If you want to go right to the Google Play Store to download the apps, you can get either or both the YouVersion Bible app or the BibleProject app.
Another Bible website that also has an app is BibleHub dot com, and they are the ones who share The Berean Study Bible as Public Domain, so everyone can read it online for free. The Bible Hub website has multiple translations, including other Public Domain translations like “The World English Bible” and “Young’s Literal Translation.” Plus, they even have the King James Purple Letter Bible. I’ll let you do your own research to see why it has some words in purple. 🪻👑
Also, if you’d like to see a side-by-side comparison, they have a parallel framework on their site where you can compare up to five translations at one time. I’m actually running five different Public Domain Bibles in my parallel, including KJV with Strong’s concordance. And if that’s not enough in the bells and whistles department, they also include their music Bible in both KJV and BSB versions along with at least 10 different audio readers from which to choose.
There are so many wonderful apps and sites filled with God’s Word out there. I’m thrilled and thankful that we still have full access right now. Some of them, like Open Bible dot com (which looks like a Bible Hub site based on the site icon) include free downloads in PDF, Word, text, and even full software for desktop. The link goes to the PDF downloads page.
You see, this is what happens when you decide to read God’s Word every day. You find style after style, site after site, and source after source. And listening to the KJV in music enabled me to hear some of the poetry a good friend recently told me she found a lot of in that translation. I had only seemed to hear it with sort of a haughty or stuffy sound and missed a lot of the poetic side. But she was right. Like that famous spaghetti sauce, It’s in there! 😊
I hope all these resources are both helpful and encouraging to my regular readers and visitors to this post. May you find joy in the written, spoken, and sung Words of The Lord today and always. His Word is truly created as a lamp for our feet and a light for our paths.
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And a light unto my path.”
Psalm 119:105 KJV
