Can you believe the new year is almost here! What will your 2025 Bible reading plan look like?

Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
-Psalm 119:105

Some advice on bible Reading Plans.

Don’t bite off more than you can chew. If you’re on this page it means you want to challenge yourself this year. That’s great! But, maybe you didn’t finish your plans in previous years. That’s okay. The goal is not to check boxes off our to-do list but to bury God’s word in our hearts. Don’t get discouraged. Every time we open God’s word He is using it – He will not allow His word to return void.

So here’s some tips for accomplishing your 2025 Bible Reading Plan:

1) Pick a realistic plan

2) Pick a plan that fits you

– take into account your personality, time, and life circumstances

3) Devote a time each day to when & where you’ll read

– seriously you might need to put it on your calendar

4) Summarize what you’ve just read

5) Pick an accountability partner who can encourage you (and you them!)

Below you’ll find a compiled list of 2025 Bible Reading Plans. They are not listed in any specific order but we pray you’ll find this list helpful as you search for this year’s plan.

May God bless you this year as you read and meditate upon His word!

Morning & Evening Bible Reading Plan

I LOVE this Bible Reading plan. In fact this is the plan I used my first time going through the Bible. You read a larger chunk of the Old Testament in the Mornings and a smaller portion in the Evenings. Breaking up the readings makes the plan accomplishable. You start your day in God’s redemptive plans in the past and end your day with Jesus. I highly recommend this plan.

5 Day Bible Reading Plan

“The Five Day Bible Reading Schedule’s secret is that you only have to read five times a week, not every day. This allows time for catching up, taking a day off, read other parts of the Bible to prepare for Bible class, etc.  Read the entire Bible or just the New Testament – it’s your choice and it is easier than ever to accomplish!”

Every year you’ll read through all of the Gospels four times, the Pentateuch twice, Paul’s letters 4-5 times each, the OT wisdom literature six times, all the Psalms at least twice, all the Proverbs as well as Acts a dozen times, and all the way through the OT History and Prophetic books about 1 1⁄2 times!

52 week Bible Reading plan

This plan will take you through a different genre of the Bible each day. Sunday – Epistle, Monday – Law, Tuesday – History, Wednesday – Psalms, Thursday – Poetry, Friday – Prophecy, Saturday – Gospels. This plan is really helpful if you have gotten bogged down before by having to read through books like Numbers or Isaiah in large chunks before. The plans strength is that it will give you something fresh to read each day of the week. However, that is also one of the weaknesses. By reading something a week ago you might not make connections with previous chapters in context as easily.

Periodically review your markings to see what God is teaching you.Put it into your own words.
