Bible Reading... What Do You Do?

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
{Psalm 119:105}

Christians know the importance of spending time in God's Word on a daily basis. Scores of verses within the pages of the Bible reinforce this vital part of a Christian's relationship with God. Countless men of God have preached countless sermons on this topic. But...how does one go about reading the Bible, exactly? 

I have heard many different "plans" and "schedules" for reading the Bible during personal time alone with God. These include, but are not limited to: reading through the Bible in a year, reading through the Bible in 6 months, reading through the Bible in 3 months, reading through the Bible chronologically, reading one book of the Bible every day for a month, and reading through the Bible by topic, to name a few.

With all these different methods for reading the Bible, how you know which one is the "right" one? 

I do not believe there is one "right" method for reading the Bible. God made us all unique, with unique rates of reading and absorbing information. You might want to try several different plans over a period of time to see which one(s) compliment your unique, God-given abilities. For several years I used a plan to read through the Bible in a year. Starting on January 1st of this year, I decided to challenge myself a bit more and started a 6-month plan for reading through the entire Bible, which (Lordwilling) I will finish at the end of June. I have enjoyed using both of these methods, and hope to try others to enhance my study of the Word.

Whatever plan/method you use, the result is the same: you are drinking in the precious words of our amazing God, and that is truly an awesome gift!
