Happy New Year!
What are your resolutions this year?
There’s a good chance you plan to read the bible more this year.
As you planed last year.
It’s a good resolution. God told Joshua that the path to prosperity and success includes daily study of God’s word.
Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. – Joshua 1:8
Someone wise said, “Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.” (It may have been Benjamin Franklin. Or Winston Churchill. Or somebody’s business prof.) You need a plan to move your intentions into actions. A bible reading plan can help you succeed in your intention to read the bible more this year.

What’s your plan for Bible reading this year? May God’s word light every step of your path throughout the year!
Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. -Psalm 119:105
If you’re like most people, by now you’ve broken all your resolutions for the year. I know—many of us have given up on making resolutions all together. Year after year we make resolutions, and promptly break them a few weeks, or days, or hours later. New Year’s Resolutions don’t work. Why even make them?
